A graph is edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the edge set. In this paper, we investigate the automorphism groups of edge-transitive graphs of odd order and twice prime valency. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected graph…

Given a finite transitive permutation group $G\leq \operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$, with $|\Omega|\geq 2$, the derangement graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ is the Cayley graph $\operatorname{Cay}(G,\operatorname{Der}(G))$, where $\operatorname{Der}(G)$…

A linear group G on a finite vector space V, (that is, a subgroup of GL(V)) is called (1/2)-transitive if all the G-orbits on the set of nonzero vectors have the same size. We complete the classification of all the (1/2)-transitive linear…

We prove that if $G=(V,E)$ is an $\omega$-stable (respectively, superstable) graph with $\chi(G)>\aleph_0$ (respectively, $2^{\aleph_0}$) then $G$ contains all the finite subgraphs of the shift graph $\text{Sh}_n(\omega)$ for some $n$. We…

A graph $\Ga=(V,E)$ is called a Cayley graph of some group $T$ if the automorphism group $\Aut(\Ga)$ contains a subgroup $T$ which acts on regularly on $V$. If the subgroup $T$ is normal in $\Aut(\Ga)$ then $\Ga$ is called a normal Cayley…

We construct a locally 5-arc transitive $G$-graph $\Delta$, where $G \in \{ {\rm PSU}_3(8) \rtimes C_2, {\rm PSU}_3(8) \rtimes C_6\}$. The corresponding vertex stabilizer amalgams are of local characteristic $3$ but are not weak…

We associate a graph $\mathcal{C}_G$ to a non locally cyclic group $G$ (called the non-cyclic graph of $G$) as follows: take $G\backslash Cyc(G)$ as vertex set, where $Cyc(G)=\{x\in G | < x,y> \text{is cyclic for all} y\in G\}$ is called…

The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of a quasi-transitive graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks from a given origin. We prove a locality theorem for connective constants, namely, that the connective…

Let $\Gamma_G$ denote a graph associated with a group $G$. A compelling question about finite groups asks whether or not a finite group $H$ must be nilpotent provided $\Gamma_H$ is isomorphic to $\Gamma_G$ for a finite nilpotent group $G$.…

The {\em distinguishing number} of a group $G$ acting faithfully on a set $V$ is the least number of colors needed to color the elements of $V$ so that no non-identity element of the group preserves the coloring. The {\em distinguishing…

The dominating number $\gamma(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum size of a vertex set whose closed neighborhood covers all the vertices of the graph. The packing number $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum size of a vertex set whose closed…

A recent development in graph-minor theory is to study local separators, vertex-sets that separate graphs locally but not necessarily globally. The local separators of a graph roughly correspond to the genuine separators of its local…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group $MCG(\Sigma)$ of a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$, possibly with punctures. We give a precise condition (in terms of the Nielsen-Thurston decomposition) when an element…

In this paper, we investigate certain graphs defined on groups, with a focus on infinite groups. The graphs discussed are the power graph, the enhanced power graph, and the commuting graph whose vertex set is a group $G$. The power graph is…

If $\Gamma$ is a string C-group which is isomorphic to a transitive subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(n) (other than Sym(n) and the alternating group Alt(n)), then the rank of $\Gamma$ is at most $n/2+1$, with finitely many exceptions…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over $\mathbb C$, and let $\Gamma$ be a cocompact lattice in $G$. We prove that any invariant bundle on $G/\Gamma$ is semistable.

A graph ${\mathcal G}$ is locally X if the graphs induced on the neighbours of every vertex of ${\mathcal G}$ are isomorphic to the graph $X$. We prove that the infinite family of incidence graphs of the $r$-rank incidence geometries,…

Let $\Gamma =(V,E)$ be a point-transitive reflexive relation. Let $v\in V$ and put $r=|\Gamma (v)|.$ Also assume $\Gamma ^j(v)\cap \Gamma ^{-}(v)=\{v\}$. Then $$ |\Gamma ^{j} (v)\setminus \Gamma ^{j-1} (v)| \ge r-1.$$ In particular we have…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group $G$. In Math. Ann. 388, 4251-4305 (2024), it was shown that the $L_p$ norm of a Fourier multiplier $m$ on $\Gamma$ can be bounded locally by its $L_p$-norm on $G$,…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set $\Omega$ and recall that a base for $G$ is a subset of $\Omega$ with trivial pointwise stabiliser. The base size of $G$, denoted $b(G)$, is the minimal size of a base. If $b(G)=2$…
