More odd graph theory from another point of view
Abstract
The Kneser graph has as vertices all -element subsets of and an edge between any two vertices that are disjoint. If , then is called an odd graph. Let and . In the present paper, we show that if the Kneser graph is of even order where is an odd integer or both of the integers are even, then is a vertex-transitive non Cayley graph. Although, these are special cases of Godsil [8], unlike his proof that uses some very deep group-theoretical facts, ours uses no heavy group-theoretic facts. We obtain our results by using some rather elementary facts of number theory and group theory. We show that "almost all" odd graphs are of even order, and consequently are vertex-transitive non Cayley graphs. Finally, we show that if is an even integer such that is not of the form for some , then the line graph of the odd graph is a vertex-transitive non Cayley graph.
