Distance-transitive digraphs: descendant-homogeneity, property $Z$ and reachability

Combinatorics 2022-09-01 v1

Abstract

We investigate the class of infinite distance-transitive digraphs DD of finite out-valency. We show that if DD is a weakly descendant-homogeneous in such a class then either (1) DD has property ZZ and the reachability relation is not universal; or (2) DD does not have property ZZ, the reachability relation is universal and DD has infinite in-valency. Also, we show that earlier results, proved in the context of highly-arc-transitive digraphs, hold under the weaker condition of distance-transitivity. Finally, we give a description of a subclass of the class distance-transitive weakly descendant-homogeneous digraphs for which the reachability relation is not universal.
