Vertex-transitive graphs with small motion and transitive permutation groups with small minimal degree

Combinatorics 2025-03-28 v2

Abstract

The motion of a graph is the minimum number of vertices that are moved by a non-trivial automorphism. Equivalently, it can be defined as the minimal degree of its automorphism group (as a permutation group on the vertices). In this paper we develop some results on permutation groups (primitive and imprimitive) with small minimal degree. As a consequence of such results we classify vertex-transitive graphs whose motion is 44 or a prime number.
