A Census of Small Transitive Groups and Vertex-Transitive Graphs

Combinatorics 2018-11-26 v1

Abstract

We describe two similar but independently-coded computations used to construct a complete catalogue of the transitive groups of degree less than 4848, thereby verifying, unifying and extending the catalogues previously available. From this list, we construct all the vertex-transitive graphs of order less than 4848. We then present a variety of summary data regarding the transitive groups and vertex-transitive graphs, focussing on properties that seem to occur most frequently in the study of groups acting on graphs. We illustrate how such catalogues can be used, first by finding a complete list of the elusive groups of order at most 4747 and then by completely determining which groups of order at most 4747 are CI groups
