We prove that any $C^{1+\alpha}$ transitive conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a closed 3-manifold with virtually solvable fundamental group is ergodic. Consequently, in light of \cite{FP-classify}, this establishes the…

A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group H if it admits H as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. A non-abelian group is called an inner-abelian group if all of its proper subgroups are…

A graph $\Gamma$ is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group $\rm Aut(\Gamma)$ acts transitively on the arc set of $\Gamma$. In this paper, we show that if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected heptavalent symmetric graph with solvable…

The transitivity degree of a group $G$ is the supremum of all integers $k$ such that $G$ admits a faithful $k$-transitive action. Few obstructions are known to impose an upper bound on the transitivity degree for infinite groups. The…

We realize every closed flat 3-manifold as a cusp section of a complete, finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold whose symmetry group acts transitively on the set of cusps. Moreover, for every such 3-manifold, a dense subset of its flat metrics…

A graph $\G$ admitting a group $H$ of automorphisms acting semi-regularly on the vertices with exactly two orbits is called a {\em bi-Cayley graph\/} over $H$. Such a graph $\G$ is called {\em normal\/} if $H$ is normal in the full…

It is known that the notion of a transitive subgroup of a permutation group $G$ extends naturally to subsets of $G$. We consider subsets of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ acting transitively on flag-like structures, which…

We prove that every finite arc-transitive graph of valency twice a prime admits a nontrivial semiregular automorphism, that is, a non-identity automorphism whose cycles all have the same length. This is a special case of the Polycirculant…

In this article, we study flag-transitive automorphism groups of non-trivial symmetric $(v, k, \lambda)$ designs, where $\lambda$ divides $k$ and $k\geq \lambda^2$. We show that such an automorphism group is either point-primitive of affine…

A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on its arcs. Guo et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 18, \#P233, 2011) and Pan et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 20, \#P36, 2013) determined all pentavalent symmetric graphs of…

An abstract polytope of rank n is said to be chiral if its automorphism group has two orbits on the flags, such that adjacent flags belong to distinct orbits. Examples of chiral polytopes have been difficult to find. A "mixing" construction…

Let X be a complete toric variety and Aut(X) be the automorphism group. We give an explit description of Aut(X)-orbits on X. In particular, we show that Aut(X) acts on X transitively if and only if X is a product of projective spaces.

In this paper we give a non-computer-assisted proof of the following result: if $G$ is an even transitive group of degree $11$ and has a string C-group representation with rank $r\in\{4,5\}$ then $G\cong\PSL_2(11)$. Moreover this string…

Suppose that a group $G$ acts transitively on the points of $\mathcal{P}$, a finite non-Desarguesian projective plane. We prove that if $G$ is insoluble then $G/O(G)$ is isomorphic to $SL_2(5)$ or $SL_2(5).2$.
