Half-arc-transitive graphs of order 4p of valency twice a prime

چکیده
A graph is half-arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on vertices and edges, but not on arcs. Let p be a prime. Cheng and Oxley [On weakly symmetric graphs of order twice a prime, J. Combin. Theory B 42(1987) 196-211] proved that there is no half-arc-transitive graph of order 2p, and Alspach and Xu [ 12 -transitive graphs of order 3p, J. Algebraic Combin. 3(1994) 347-355] classified half-arc-transitive graphs of order 3p. In this paper we classify half-arc-transitive graphs of order 4p of valency 2q for each prime q ≥ 5. It is shown that such graphs exist if and only if p− 1 is divisible by 4q. Moreover, for such p and q a unique half-arc-transitive graph of order 4p and valency 2q exists and this graph is a Cayley graph.

متن کاملHexavalent half-arc-transitive graphs of order 4p
A graph is half-arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on its vertex set and edge set, but not arc set. It was shown by [Y.-Q. Feng, K.S. Wang, C.X. Zhou, Tetravalent halftransitive graphs of order 4p, European J. Combin. 28 (2007) 726–733] that all tetravalent half-arc-transitive graphs of order 4p for a prime p are non-Cayley and such graphs exist if andonly if p−1 is divi...
متن کاملSymmetric graphs of order 4p of valency prime
A graph is symmetric or arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on vertices, edges and arcs. Let p, q be odd primes with p, q ≥ 5 and X a q-valent symmetric graph of order 4p. In this paper, we proved that X K4p with 4p-1=q, X K2p,2p-2pK2 with 2p-1=q, the quotient graph of X is isomorphic to Kp,p and p=q, or K2p and 2p-1=q.
متن کاملTwo-geodesic transitive graphs of prime power order
In a non-complete graph $Gamma$, a vertex triple $(u,v,w)$ with $v$ adjacent to both $u$ and $w$ is called a $2$-geodesic if $uneq w$ and $u,w$ are not adjacent. The graph $Gamma$ is said to be $2$-geodesic transitive if its automorphism group is transitive on arcs, and also on 2-geodesics. We first produce a reduction theorem for the family of $2$-geodesic transitive graphs of prime power or...

A finite graph X is half-arc-transitive if its automorphism group is transitive on vertices and edges, but not on arcs. When X is tetravalent, the automorphism group induces an orientation on the edges and a cycle of X is called an alternating cycle if its consecutive edges in the cycle have opposite orientations. All alternating cycles of X have the same length and half of this length is calle...
