We show that almost all circulant graphs have automorphism groups as small as possible. Of the circulant graphs that do not have automorphism group as small as possible, we give some families of integers such that it is not true that almost…

A $k$-graph $\mathcal{G}$ is asymmetric if there does not exist an automorphism on $\mathcal{G}$ other than the identity, and $\mathcal{G}$ is called minimal asymmetric if it is asymmetric but every non-trivial induced sub-hypergraph of…

We prove that, if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected $3$-valent vertex-transitive, or $4$-valent vertex- and edge-transitive graph, then either $\Gamma$ is part of a well-understood family of graphs, or every non-identity automorphism of…

We study a family of graphs related to the $n$-cube. The middle cube graph of parameter $k$ is the subgraph of $Q_{2k-1}$ induced by the set of vertices whose binary representation has either $k-1$ or $k$ number of ones. The middle cube…

The orbit graph of a k-orbit polytope is a graph on k nodes that shows how the flag orbits are related by flag adjacency. Using orbit graphs, we classify k-orbit polytopes and determine when a k-orbit polytope is i-transitive. We then…

Metacirculants are a rich resource of many families of interesting graphs, and weak metacirculants are generalizations of them. A graph is called a {\em split weak metacirculant} if it has a vertex-transitive split metacyclic automorphism…

In this paper, we examine the structure of vertex- and edge-transitive strongly regular graphs, using normal quotient reduction. We show that the irreducible graphs in this family have quasiprimitive automorphism groups, and prove (using…

Unitary graphs are arc-transitive graphs with vertices the flags of Hermitian unitals and edges defined by certain elements of the underlying finite fields. They played a significant role in a recent classification of a class of…

We prove that a random cubic graph almost surely is not homomorphic to a cycle of size 7. This implies that there exist cubic graphs of arbitrarily high girth with no homomorphisms to the cycle of size 7.

For each of the 14 classes of edge-transitive maps described by Graver and Watkins, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a group to be the automorphism group of a map, or of an orientable map without boundary, in that class.…

A finite simple graph is called a bi-Cayley graph over a group $H$ if it has a semiregular automorphism group, isomorphic to $H,$ which has two orbits on the vertex set. Cubic vertex-transitive bi-Cayley graphs over abelian groups have been…

In this paper, we characterise the family of finite arc-transitive bicirculants. We show that every finite arc-transitive bicirculant is a normal $r$-cover of an arc-transitive graph that lies in one of eight infinite families or is one of…

An interval $k$-graph is the intersection graph of a family $\mathcal{I}$ of intervals of the real line partitioned into at most $k$ classes with vertices adjacent if and only if their corresponding intervals intersect and belong to…

We classify trivalent vertex-transitive graphs whose edge sets have a partition into a 2-factor composed of two cycles and a 1-factor that is invariant under the action of the automorphism group.

The chromatic index of a cubic graph is either 3 or 4. Edge-Kempe switching, which can be used to transform edge-colorings, is here considered for 3-edge-colorings of cubic graphs. Computational results for edge-Kempe switching of cubic…

In this paper, we determine the class of finite 2-arc-transitive bicirculants. We show that a connected $2$-arc-transitive bicirculant is one of the following graphs: $C_{2n}$ where $n\geqslant 2$, $\K_{2n}$ where $n\geqslant 2$, $\K_{n,n}$…

In this paper a classification of tetravalent edge-transitive metacirculants is given. It is shown that a tetravalent edge-transitive metacirculant $\Gamma$ is a normal graph except for four known graphs. If further, $\Gamma$ is a Cayley…

A connected graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$ of valency at least $3$ is called a basic $2$-arc-transitive graph if its full automorphism group has a subgroup $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ acts transitively on the set of $2$-arcs of…

The $k$-coprime graph of order $n$ is the graph with vertex set $\{k, k+1, \ldots, k+n-1\}$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are coprime. We characterize Hamiltonian $k$-coprime graphs. As a particular case, two…

If $v$ is an eigenvector for eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a graph $X$ and $\alpha$ is an automorphism of $X$, then $\alpha(v)$ is also an eigenvector for $\lambda$. Thus it is rather exceptional for an eigenvalue of a vertex-transitive graph to…
