The relative fixity of a permutation group is the maximum proportion points fixed by non-trivial element group, and graph its automorphism viewed as on vertex-set graph. We prove in this paper that connected 2-arc-transitive graphs valence tends to 0 number vertices grows infinity. same result for class arc-transitive prime valence, more generally, any locally-L graphs, where L quasiprimitive g...

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] c...

A family of arc-transitive graphs is studied. The vertices of these graphs are ordered pairs of distinct points from a finite projective line, and adjacency is defined in terms of the cross ratio. A uniform description of the graphs is given, their automorphism groups are determined, the problem of isomorphism between graphs in the family is solved, some combinatorial properties are explored, a...

A graph is said to be half-arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the set of its vertices and edges but not on the set of its arcs. With each half-arc-transitive graph of valency 4 a collection of the so called alternating cycles is associated, all of which have the same even length. Half of this length is called the radius of the graph in question. Moreover, any two adja...

We resolve two problems of [Cameron, Praeger, and Wormald – Infinite highly arc transitive digraphs and universal covering digraphs, Combinatorica 1993]. First, we construct a locally finite highly arc-transitive digraph with universal reachability relation. Second, we provide constructions of 2-ended highly arc transitive digraphs where each ‘building block’ is a finite bipartite graph that is...

A graph is said to be 1 2-transitive if its automorphism group is ver-tex and edge but not arc-transitive. For each n 11, a 1 2-transitive graph of valency 4 and girth 6, with the automorphism group isomor-phic to A n Z 2 , is given.

It is known that there are precisely three transitive permutation groups of degree 6 admit an invariant partition with parts size 2 such the kernel action on has order 4; these called A 4 ( ) , S d and c . For each L ∈ { } we construct infinite family finite connected 6-valent graphs Γ n N arc-transitive G ≤ Aut group induced by vertex-stabiliser v neighbourhood a vertex isomorphic to L, ∣ expo...

Let r be a finite connecied regular bipartite 2-arc transitive graph. It is shown that r is a cover of a possibly smaller graph :E, which is also connecied and regular of the same valency as r, and there is a subgroup G of Aut :E such that G is 2-arc transitive on :E and every nontrivial normal subgroup of G has at most two orbits on vertices. Such graphs :E for which the subgroup G has an abel...

Let 0 be a simple graph and let G be a group of automorphisms of 0. The graph is (G, 2)-arc transitive if G is transitive on the set of the 2-arcs of 0. In this paper we construct a new family of (PSU(3, q2), 2)-arc transitive graphs 0 of valency 9 such that Aut0 = Z3.G, for some almost simple group G with socle PSU(3, q2). This gives a new infinite family of non-quasiprimitive almost simple gr...

An arc of a graph is an oriented edge and a 3-arc is a 4-tuple (v, u, x, y) of vertices such that both (v, u, x) and (u, x, y) are paths of length two. The 3-arc graph of a graph G is defined to have vertices the arcs of G such that two arcs uv, xy are adjacent if and only if (v, u, x, y) is a 3-arc of G. In this paper we prove that any connected 3-arc graph is Hamiltonian, and all iterative 3-...
