Reachability relations, transitive digraphs and groups
Aleksander Malnič, Primož Potočnik, Norbert Seifter, Primož Šparl, 2015, original scientific article

Abstract: In [A. Malnič, D. Marušič, N. Seifter, P. Šparl and B. Zgrablič, Reachability relations in digraphs, Europ. J. Combin. 29 (2008), 1566-1581] it was shown that properties of digraphs such as growth, property ▫$\mathbf{Z}$▫, and number of ends are reflected by the properties of certain reachability relations defined on the vertices of the corresponding digraphs. In this paper we study these relations in connection with certain properties of automorphism groups of transitive digraphs. In particular, one of the main results shows that if atransitive digraph admits a nilpotent subgroup of automorphisms with finitely many orbits, then its nilpotency class and the number of orbits are closely related to particular properties of reachability relations defined on the digraphs in question. The obtained results have interesting implications for Cayley digraphs of certain types of groups such as torsion-free groups of polynomial growth.

Reachability relations in digraphs
Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Norbert Seifter, Primož Šparl, Boris Zgrablić, 2008, original scientific article

Abstract: In this paper we study reachability relations on vertices of digraphs, informally defined as follows. First, the weight of a walk is equal to the number of edges traversed in the direction coinciding with their orientation, minus the number of edges traversed in the direction opposite to their orientation. Then, a vertex ▫$u$▫ is ▫$R_k^+$▫-related to a vertex ▫$v$▫ if there exists a 0-weighted walk from ▫$u$▫ to ▫$v$▫ whose every subwalk starting at u has weight in the interval ▫$[0,k]$▫. Similarly, a vertex ▫$u$▫ is ▫$R_k^-$▫-related to a vertex ▫$v$▫ if there exists a 0-weighted walk from ▫$u$▫ to ▫$v$▫ whose every subwalk starting at ▫$u$▫ has weight in the interval ▫$[-k,0]$▫. For all positive integers ▫$k$▫, the relations ▫$R_k^+$▫ and ▫$R_k^-$▫ are equivalence relations on the vertex set of a given digraph. We prove that, for transitive digraphs, properties of these relations are closely related to other properties such as having property ▫$\mathbb{Z}$▫, the number of ends, growth conditions, and vertex degree.

Minimal normal subgroups of transitive permutation groups of square-free degree
Edward Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: It is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a transitive permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple and quasiprimitive, with three exceptions related to ▫$A_5$▫, ▫$A_7$▫, and PSL(2,29). Moreover, it is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a 2-closed permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple. As an almost immediate consequence, it follows that a 2-closed transitive permutation group of square-free degree contains a semiregular element of prime order, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs,Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the fifteenth British combinatorial conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).

Symmetry structure of bicirculants
Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Primož Šparl, Boštjan Frelih, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: An ▫$n$▫-bicirculant is a graph having an automorphism with two orbits of length ▫$n$▫ and no other orbits. Symmetry properties of ▫$p$▫-bicirculants, ▫$p$▫ a prime, are extensively studied. In particular, the actions of their automorphism groups are described in detail in terms of certain algebraic representation of such graphs.

On strongly regular bicirculants
Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Primož Šparl, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: An ▫$n$▫-bicirculantis a graph having an automorphism with two orbits of length ▫$n$▫ and no other orbits. This article deals with strongly regular bicirculants. It is known that for a nontrivial strongly regular ▫$n$▫-bicirculant, ▫$n$▫ odd, there exists a positive integer m such that ▫$n=2m^2+2m+1▫$. Only three nontrivial examples have been known previously, namely, for ▫$m=1,2$▫ and 4. Case ▫$m=1$▫ gives rise to the Petersen graph and its complement, while the graphs arising from cases ▫$m=2$▫ and ▫$m=4$▫ are associated with certain Steiner systems. Similarly, if ▫$n$▫ is even, then ▫$n=2m^2$▫ for some ▫$m \ge 2$▫. Apart from a pair of complementary strongly regular 8-bicirculants, no other example seems to be known. A necessary condition for the existence of a strongly regular vertex-transitive ▫$p$▫-bicirculant, ▫$p$▫ a prime, is obtained here. In addition, three new strongly regular bicirculants having 50, 82 and 122 vertices corresponding, respectively, to ▫$m=3,4$▫ and 5 above, are presented. These graphs are not associated with any Steiner system, and together with their complements form the first known pairs of complementary strongly regular bicirculants which are vertex-transitive but not edge-transitive.
