Abstract

Given a finite transitive permutation group GSym(Ω)G\leq \operatorname{Sym}(\Omega), with Ω2|\Omega|\geq 2, the derangement graph ΓG\Gamma_G of GG is the Cayley graph Cay(G,Der(G))\operatorname{Cay}(G,\operatorname{Der}(G)), where Der(G)\operatorname{Der}(G) is the set of all derangements of GG. Meagher et al. [On triangles in derangement graphs, {\it J. Combin. Theory Ser. A}, 180:105390, 2021] recently proved that Sym(2)\operatorname{Sym}(2) acting on {1,2}\{1,2\} is the only transitive group whose derangement graph is bipartite and any transitive group of degree at least three has a triangle in its derangement graph. They also showed that there exist transitive groups whose derangement graphs are complete multipartite. This paper gives two new families of transitive groups with complete multipartite derangement graphs. In addition, we prove that if pp is an odd prime and GG is a transitive group of degree 2p2p, then the independence number of ΓG\Gamma_{G} is at most twice the size of a point-stabilizer of GG.
