Let $n$ and $k$ be integers with $n> k\geq1$ and $[n] = \{1, 2, ... , n\} $. The $bipartite \ Kneser \ graph$ $H(n, k)$ is the graph with the all $k$-element and all ($n-k$)-element subsets of $[n] $ as vertices, and there is an edge…

We compare three transitivity properties of finite graphs, namely, for a positive integer $s$, $s$-distance transitivity, $s$-geodesic transitivity and $s$-arc transitivity. It is known that if a finite graph is $s$-arc transitive but not…

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of normal Cayley graphs, which are $2$-distance-transitive but neither distance-transitive nor $2$-arc-transitive. This answers a question raised by Chen, Jin and Li in 2019 and corrects a…

A graph is edge-transitive if the natural action of its automorphism group on its edge set is transitive. An automorphism of a graph is semiregular if all of the orbits of the subgroup generated by this automorphism have the same length.…

It has long been known that there exist finite connected tetravalent arc-transitive graphs with arbitrarily large vertex-stabilisers. However, beside a well known family of exceptional graphs, related to the lexicographic product of a cycle…

An $n$-vertex graph is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper, we study pancyclicity of random graphs in the context of resilience, and prove that if $p \gg n^{-1/2}$, then the random…

The main result of this paper is that, if $\Gamma$ is a connected 4-valent $G$-arc-transitive graph and $v$ is a vertex of $\Gamma$, then either $\Gamma$ is one of a well understood infinite family of graphs, or $|G_v|\leq 2^43^6$ or…

A graph is called an $(r,k)$-graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $r$ parts, each having at most $k$ vertices and there is at least one edge between any two parts. Let $f(r,H)$ be the minimum $k$ for which there exists an…

We characterize connected tetravalent graphs $\Gamma$ which admit groups $M<H$ of automorphisms such that $\Gamma$ is $M$-half-arc-transitive and $H$-arc-transitive. Examples for each case are constructed, including a counter-example to a…

Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter for finite graphs. It is an open problem to determine whether there is an $n$-vertex graph having twin-width at least $n/2$ (due to J. Ahn, K. Hendrey, D. Kim and S. Oum). In an earlier…

In this paper, we discuss the structural information about 2-arc-transitive (non-bipartite and bipartite) graphs of product action type. It is proved that a 2-arc-transitive graph of product action type requires certain restrictions on…

This paper deals with finite cubic ($3$-regular) graphs whose automorphism group acts transitively on the edges of the graph. Such graphs split into two broad classes, namely arc-transitive and semisymmetric cubic graphs, and then these…

Given integers $k$ and $m$, we construct a $G$-arc-transitive graph of valency $k$ and an $L$-arc-transitive oriented digraph of out-valency $k$ such that $G$ and $L$ both admit blocks of imprimitivity of size $m$.

Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph with vertex set $V$. We suppose that $V$ admits a $G$-partition $\mathcal{B} = \{ B_0, ... , B_b \}$, with parts of size $v$, and that the quotient graph induced on $\mathcal B$ is a complete graph of…

An \textit{$(n,m)$-graph} $G$ is a graph having both arcs and edges, and its arcs (resp., edges) are labeled using one of the $n$ (resp., $m$) different symbols. An \textit{$(n,m)$-complete graph} $G$ is an $(n,m)$-graph without loops or…

A non-complete graph is \emph{$2$-distance-transitive} if, for $i=1,2$ and for any two vertex pairs $(u_1,v_1)$ and $(u_2,v_2)$ with the same distance $i$ in the graph, there exists an element of the graph automorphism group that maps…

A set of vertices of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves it is the identity. The minimal size of such sets, if they exist, is the distinguishing cost. The distinguishing costs of vertex transitive cubic graphs…
