11. Minimal normal subgroups of transitive permutation groups of square-free degreeEdward Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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]).

12. Symmetry structure of bicirculantsAleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Primož Šparl, Boštjan Frelih, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

13. On strongly regular bicirculantsAleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Primož Šparl, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

14. Semiregular automorphisms of vertex-transitive graphs of certain valenciesEdward Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: It is shown that a vertex-transitive graph of valency ▫$p+1$▫, ▫$p$▫ a prime, admitting a transitive action of a ▫$\{2,p\}$▫-group, has a non-identity semiregular automorphism. As a consequence, it is proved that a quartic vertex-transitive graph has a non-identity semiregular automorphism, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all vertex-transitive graphs have such an automorphism and, more generally, 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]).

15. Semisymmetric elementary abelian covers of the Möbius-Kantor graphAleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Štefko Miklavič, Primož Potočnik, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let ▫$\wp_N : \tilde{X} \to X$▫ be a regular covering projection of connected graphs with the group of covering transformations isomorphic to ▫$N$▫. If ▫$N$▫ is an elementary abelian ▫$p$▫-group, then the projection ▫$\wp_N$▫ is called ▫$p$▫-elementary abelian. The projection ▫$\wp_N$▫ is vertex-transitive (edge-transitive) if some vertex-transitive (edge-transitive) subgroup of Aut ▫$X$▫ lifts along ▫$\wp_N$▫, and semisymmetric if it is edge- but not vertex-transitive. The projection ▫$\wp_N$▫ is minimal semisymmetric if ▫$\wp_N$▫ cannot be written as a composition ▫$\wp_N = \wp \circ \wp_M$▫ of two (nontrivial) regular covering projections, where ▫$\pw_M$▫ is semisymmetric. Finding elementary abelian covering projections can be grasped combinatorially via a linear representation of automorphisms acting on the first homology group of the graph. The method essentially reduces to finding invariant subspaces of matrix groups over prime fields (see [A. Malnic, D. Marušic, P. Potocnik, Elementary abelian covers of graphs, J. Algebraic Combin. 20 (2004) 71-97]). In this paper, all pairwise nonisomorphic minimal semisymmetric elementary abelian regular covering projections of the Möbius-Kantor graph, the Generalized Petersen graph GP(8,3), are constructed. No such covers exist for ▫$p=2$▫. Otherwise, the number of such covering projections is equal to ▫$(p-1)/4$▫ and ▫$1+(p-1)/4$▫ in cases ▫$p \equiv 5,9,13,17,21 \pmod{24}$▫ and ▫$p \equiv 1 \pmod{24}$▫, respectively, and to ▫$(p+1)/4$▫ and ▫$1+(p+1)/4$▫ in cases ▫$p \equiv 3,7,11,15,23 \pmod{24}$▫ and ▫$p \equiv 19 \pmod{24}$▫, respectively. For each such covering projection the voltage rules generating the corresponding covers are displayed explicitly.

18. Distance-regular Cayley graphs on dihedral groupsŠtefko Miklavič, Primož Potočnik, 2005, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The main result of this article is a classification of distance-regular Cayley graphs on dihedral groups. There exist four obvious families of such graphs, which are called trivial. These are: complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs, complete bipartite graphs with the edges of a 1-factor removed, and cycles. It is proved that every non-trivial distance-regular Cayley graph on a dihedral group is bipartite, non-antipodal, has diameter 3 and arises either from a cyclic di#erence set, or possibly (if any such exists) from a dihedral difference set satisfying some additional conditions. Finally, all distance-transitive Cayley graphs on dihedral groups are determined. It transpires that a Cayley graph on a dihedral group is distance-transitive if and only if it is trivial, or isomorphic to the incidence or to the non-incidence graph of a projective space ▫$\mathrm{PG}_{d-1} (d,q)$▫, ▫$d \ge 2$▫, or the unique pair of complementary symmetric designs on 11 vertices.

19. On overgroups of regular abelian p-groupsEdward Dobson, 2009, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let ▫$G$▫ be a transitive group of odd prime-power degree whose Sylow ▫$p$▫-subgroup ▫$P$▫ is abelian od rank ▫$t$▫. Weshow that if ▫$p > 2^{t-1}$▫, then ▫$G$▫ has a normal subgroup that is a direct product of ▫$t$▫ permutation groups of smaller degree that are either cyclic or doubly-transitive simple groups. As a consequence, we determine the full automorphism group of a Cayley diagraph of an abelian group with rank two such that the Sylow ▫$p$▫-subgroup of the full automorphism group is abelian.

20. Arc-transitive cycle decompositions of tetravalent graphsŠtefko Miklavič, Primož Potočnik, Steve Wilson, 2008, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A cycle decomposition of a graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ is a set ▫$\mathcal{C}$▫ of cycles of ▫$\Gamma$▫ such that every edge of ▫$\Gamma$▫ belongs to exactly one cycle in ▫$\mathcal{C}$▫. Such a decomposition is called arc-transitive if the group of automorphisms of ▫$\Gamma$▫ that preserve setwise acts transitively on the arcs of ▫$\Gamma$▫. In this paper, we study arc-transitive cycle decompositions of tetravalent graphs. In particular, we are interested in determining and enumerating arc-transitive cycle decompositions admitted by a given arc-transitive tetravalent graph. Among other results we show that a connected tetravalent arc-transitive graph is either 2-arc-transitive, or is isomorphic to the medial graph of a reflexible map, or admits exactly one cycle structure.
