On the Sims Conjecture and Distance Transitive Graphs

چکیده
Charles Sims suggested that this should be true in [11]. Much work has been done since—see for instance the papers of Thompson [15], Wielandt [17] and Knapp [6]. In particular, Thompson proved in [15] the existence of a function g such that for any G as above there is a prime p and a normal p-subgroup P of G with |Ga: P\ ^ g(d). Nevertheless, the conjecture has remained open until now. As a consequence we obtain a result on distance transitive graphs:

On Distance-transitive Graphs
Cameron's proof of this result is based on Sims' Conjecture, which has only been shown to hold using the classification of finite simple groups. In the final section of [1], Cameron indicates how Theorem 1 might be proved in an elementary fashion using Macpherson's classification of infinite distance-transitive graphs of finite valency [4]. Corollary 1 below provides the missing portion of this...
متن کاملReciprocal Degree Distance of Grassmann Graphs
Recently, Hua et al. defined a new topological index based on degrees and inverse of distances between all pairs of vertices. They named this new graph invariant as reciprocal degree distance as 1 { , } ( ) ( ( ) ( ))[ ( , )] RDD(G) = u v V G d u d v d u v , where the d(u,v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v. In this paper, we compute this topological index for Grassmann graphs.
متن کامل-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2
For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...
متن کاملAUTOMORPHISM GROUPS OF SOME NON-TRANSITIVE GRAPHS
An Euclidean graph associated with a molecule is defined by a weighted graph with adjacency matrix M = [dij], where for ij, dij is the Euclidean distance between the nuclei i and j. In this matrix dii can be taken as zero if all the nuclei are equivalent. Otherwise, one may introduce different weights for distinct nuclei. Balaban introduced some monster graphs and then Randic computed complexit...
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...
