چکیده
This paper presents a classification of vertex-primitive and vertex-biprimitive 2-path-transitive graphs which are not 2-arc-transitive. The classification leads to constructions of new examples of half-arc-transitive graphs.

THE FINITE VERTEX-PRIMITIVE AND VERTEX-BIPRIMITIVE s-TRANSITIVE GRAPHS FOR s ≥ 4
A complete classification is given for finite vertex-primitive and vertex-biprimitive s-transitive graphs for s ≥ 4. The classification involves the construction of new 4-transitive graphs, namely a graph of valency 14 admitting the Monster simple group M, and an infinite family of graphs of valency 5 admitting projective symplectic groups PSp(4, p) with p prime and p ≡ ±1 (mod 8). As a corolla...
متن کاملFINITE s-ARC TRANSITIVE GRAPHS OF PRIME-POWER ORDER
An s-arc in a graph is a vertex sequence (α0, α1, . . . , αs) such that {αi−1, αi} ∈ EΓ for 1 6 i 6 s and αi−1 6= αi+1 for 1 6 i 6 s− 1. This paper gives a characterization of a class of s-transitive graphs; that is, graphs for which the automorphism group is transitive on s-arcs but not on (s+ 1)-arcs. It is proved that if Γ is a finite connected s-transitive graph (where s > 2) of order a p-p...
متن کاملBiprimitive Graphs of Smallest Order
A regular and edge-transitive graph which is not vertex-transitive is said to be semisymmetric. Every semisymmetric graph is necessarily bipartite, with the two parts having equal size and the automorphism group acting transitively on each of these parts. A semisymmetric graph is called biprimitive if its automorphism group acts primitively on each part. In this paper biprimitive graphs of smal...

متن کاملLimits of vertex-transitive graphs
The class of all connected vertex-transitive graphs with finite valency forms a metric space under a natural combinatorially defined metric. We prove some basic properties of this metric space and discuss the structure of graphs which are limit points of the subset consisting of all finite graphs that admit a vertex-primitive group of automorphisms. A description of these limit graphs would pro...
