Stabilizers of consistent walks

Combinatorics 2024-05-28 v1

Abstract

A walk of length nn in a graph is consistent if there exists an automorphism of the graph that maps the initial n1n-1 vertices to the final n1n-1 vertices of the walk. In this paper we find some sufficient conditions for a consistent walk in an arc-transitive graph to have a trivial pointwise stabilizer. We show that in that case, the size of the smallest generating set of the group is bounded by the valence of the graph.
