Automorphism group of the complete transposition graph
Abstract
The complete transposition graph is defined to be the graph whose vertices are the elements of the symmetric group , and two vertices and are adjacent in this graph iff there is some transposition such that . Thus, the complete transposition graph is the Cayley graph of the symmetric group generated by the set of all transpositions. An open problem in the literature is to determine which Cayley graphs are normal. It was shown recently that the Cayley graph generated by 4 cyclically adjacent transpositions is not normal. In the present paper, it is proved that the complete transposition graph is not a normal Cayley graph, for all . Furthermore, the automorphism group of the complete transposition graph is shown to equal where is the right regular representation of , is the group of inner automorphisms of , and , where is the map .
