Line graphs and -geodesic transitivity
For a graph , a positive integer and a subgroup G\leq
\Aut(\Gamma), we prove that is transitive on the set of -arcs of
if and only if has girth at least and is
transitive on the set of -geodesics of its line graph. As applications,
we first prove that the only non-complete locally cyclic -geodesic
transitive graphs are the complete multipartite graph and the
icosahedron. Secondly we classify 2-geodesic transitive graphs of valency 4 and
girth 3, and determine which of them are geodesic transitive
Geometric aspects of 2-walk-regular graphs
A -walk-regular graph is a graph for which the number of walks of given
length between two vertices depends only on the distance between these two
vertices, as long as this distance is at most . Such graphs generalize
distance-regular graphs and -arc-transitive graphs. In this paper, we will
focus on 1- and in particular 2-walk-regular graphs, and study analogues of
certain results that are important for distance regular graphs. We will
generalize Delsarte's clique bound to 1-walk-regular graphs, Godsil's
multiplicity bound and Terwilliger's analysis of the local structure to
2-walk-regular graphs. We will show that 2-walk-regular graphs have a much
richer combinatorial structure than 1-walk-regular graphs, for example by
proving that there are finitely many non-geometric 2-walk-regular graphs with
given smallest eigenvalue and given diameter (a geometric graph is the point
graph of a special partial linear space); a result that is analogous to a
result on distance-regular graphs. Such a result does not hold for
1-walk-regular graphs, as our construction methods will show
Distance-regular Cayley graphs with small valency
We consider the problem of which distance-regular graphs with small valency
are Cayley graphs. We determine the distance-regular Cayley graphs with valency
at most , the Cayley graphs among the distance-regular graphs with known
putative intersection arrays for valency , and the Cayley graphs among all
distance-regular graphs with girth and valency or . We obtain that
the incidence graphs of Desarguesian affine planes minus a parallel class of
lines are Cayley graphs. We show that the incidence graphs of the known
generalized hexagons are not Cayley graphs, and neither are some other
distance-regular graphs that come from small generalized quadrangles or
hexagons. Among some ``exceptional'' distance-regular graphs with small
valency, we find that the Armanios-Wells graph and the Klein graph are Cayley
graphs.Comment: 19 pages, 4 table
Distance-regular graphs
This is a survey of distance-regular graphs. We present an introduction to
distance-regular graphs for the reader who is unfamiliar with the subject, and
then give an overview of some developments in the area of distance-regular
graphs since the monograph 'BCN' [Brouwer, A.E., Cohen, A.M., Neumaier, A.,
Distance-Regular Graphs, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1989] was written.Comment: 156 page
