On Sylow Subgraphs of Vertex-transitive Self-complementary Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the basic facts of group theory is that each finite group contains a Sylow p-subgroup for each prime p which divides the order of the group. In this note we show that each vertex-transitive selfcomplementary graph has an analogous property. As a consequence of this fact, we obtain that each prime divisor p of the order of a vertex-transitive self-complementary graph satisfies the congruence pm3 1(mod4), where pm is the highest power of p which divides the order of the graph.

Perfect Matchings in Edge-Transitive Graphs
We find recursive formulae for the number of perfect matchings in a graph G by splitting G into subgraphs H and Q. We use these formulas to count perfect matching of P hypercube Qn. We also apply our formulas to prove that the number of perfect matching in an edge-transitive graph is , where denotes the number of perfect matchings in G, is the graph constructed from by deleting edges with an en...
متن کاملSelf-Complementary Vertex-Transitive Graphs
A graph Γ is self-complementary if its complement is isomorphic to the graph itself. An isomorphism that maps Γ to its complement Γ is called a complementing isomorphism. The majority of this dissertation is intended to present my research results on the study of self-complementary vertex-transitive graphs. I will provide an introductory mini-course for the backgrounds, and then discuss four pr...
متن کاملOn finite graphs that are self-complementary and vertex transitive
Self-complementary graphs have been extensively investigated and effectively used in the study of Ramsey numbers. It is well-known and easily proved that there exist regular self-complementary graphs of order n if and only if n == 1 (mod 4). So it is natural to ask whether a similar result for self-complementary vertex-transitive graphs exists. More precisely, for which positive integers n do t...
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...
متن کاملVertex-transitive self-complementary uniform hypergraphs
In this paper we examine the orders of vertex-transitive self-complementary uniform hypergraphs. In particular, we prove that if there exists a vertex-transitive selfcomplementary k-uniform hypergraph of order n, where k = 2 or k = 2 + 1 and n ≡ 1 (mod 2), then the highest power of any prime dividing n must be congruent to 1 modulo 2. We show that this necessary condition is also sufficient in ...
