In this note, we prove that if $(G,V)$ is a prehomogeneous vector space over any field $k$ such that the stabilizer of a generic point is reductive, the set of semi-stable points is a single orbit over the separable closure of $k$.

We consider the Grassmann graph of $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the $q$-element field and its subgraph $\Gamma(n,k)_q$ formed by non-degenerate linear $[n,k]_q$ codes. We assume that $1<k<n-1$. It is…

In this note we complete the calculation of the number of $GL(\mathbb R^n)$-orbits on $\Lambda^k(\mathbb R^n)^*$, by treating the cases $(n,k)= (7,4)$ and $(8,5)$ not covered in the literature. We also calculate the number of of…

Half-arc-transitive graphs are a fascinating topic which connects graph theory, Riemann surfaces and group theory. Although fruitful results have been obtained over the last half a century, it is still challenging to construct…

In this paper, we discuss automorphism related parameters of a graph associated to a finite vector space. The fixing neighborhood of a pair $(u,v)$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is the set of all those vertices $w$ of $G$, such that the orbits…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space ($4\le n <\infty$) and let ${\mathcal G}_{k}(V)$ be the Grassmannian formed by all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$. The corresponding Grassmann graph will be denoted by $\Gamma_{k}(V)$. We…

While stabilizer tableaus have proven useful as a descriptive tool for additive quantum codes, they otherwise offer little guidance for concrete constructions or algorithm analysis. We introduce a representation of stabilizer codes as…

A non-complete graph $\Gamma$ is said to be $(G,2)$-distance transitive if $G$ is a subgroup of the automorphism group of $\Gamma$ that is transitive on the vertex set of $\Gamma$, and for any vertex $u$ of $\Gamma$, the stabilizer $G_u$ is…

An orbit of $G$ is a subset $S$ of $V(G)$ such that $\phi(u)=v$ for any two vertices $u,v\in S$, where $\phi$ is an isomorphism of $G$. The orbit number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\text{Orb}(G)$, is the number of orbits of $G$. In [A Note…

In this paper we investigate orders, longest cycles and the number of cycles of automorphisms of finite vertex-transitive graphs. In particular, we show that the order of every automorphism of a connected vertex-transitive graph with $n$…

For a connected locally $(G,s$)-arc-transitive graph $\Gamma$ with $s\geqslant 2$ and an edge ${v,w}$, determining the amalgam $(G_v,G_w,G_{vw})$ is a fundamental problem in the area of symmetrical graph theory, but it is very difficult. In…
