The Cyclic Groups with them-DCI Property

AbstractFor a finite groupGand a subsetSofGwhich does not contain the identity ofG,let Cay(G,S)denote the Cayley graph ofGwith respect toS.If, for all subsetsS, TofGof sizem,Cay(G,S)≅Cay(G,T)impliesSα=Tfor someα∈Aut(G), thenGis said to have them-DCI property. In this paper, a classification is presented of the cyclic groups with them-DCI property, which is reasonably complete

Generalized quaternion groups with the mm-DCI property

A Cayley digraph Cay(G,S) of a finite group $G$ with respect to a subset $S$ of $G$ is said to be a CI-digraph if for every Cayley digraph Cay(G,T) isomorphic to Cay(G,S), there exists an automorphism $\sigma$ of $G$ such that $S^\sigma=T$. A finite group $G$ is said to have the $m$-DCI property for some positive integer $m$ if all $m$-valent Cayley digraphs of $G$ are CI-digraphs, and is said to be a DCI-group if $G$ has the $m$-DCI property for all $1\leq m\leq |G|$. Let $\mathrm{Q}_{4n}$ be a generalized quaternion group of order $4n$ with an integer $n\geq 3$, and let $\mathrm{Q}_{4n}$ have the $m$-DCI property for some $1 \leq m\leq 2n-1$. It is shown in this paper that $n$ is odd, and $n$ is not divisible by $p^2$ for any prime $p\leq m-1$. Furthermore, if $n\geq 3$ is a power of a prime $p$, then $\mathrm{Q}_{4n}$ has the $m$-DCI property if and only if $p$ is odd, and either $n=p$ or $1\leq m\leq p$.Comment: 1
