Abstract

In 2011, Fang et al. in (J. Combin. Theory A 118 (2011) 1039-1051) posed the following problem: Classify non-normal locally primitive Cayley graphs of finite simple groups of valency dd, where either d20d\leq 20 or dd is a prime number. The only case for which the complete solution of this problem is known is of d=3d=3. Except this, a lot of efforts have been made to attack this problem by considering the following problem: Characterize finite nonabelian simple groups which admit non-normal locally primitive Cayley graphs of certain valency d4d\geq4. Even for this problem, it was only solved for the cases when either d5d\leq 5 or d=7d=7 and the vertex stabilizer is solvable. In this paper, we make crucial progress towards the above problems by completely solving the second problem for the case when d11d\geq 11 is a prime and the vertex stabilizer is solvable.
