AbstractIn this paper, we are interested in the asymptotic enumeration of Cayley graphs. It has previously been shown that almost every Cayley digraph has the smallest possible automorphism group: that is, it is a digraphical regular representation (DRR). In this paper, we approach the corresponding question for undirected Cayley graphs. The situation is complicated by the fact that there are two infinite families of groups that do not admit any graphical regular representation (GRR). The strategy for digraphs involved analysing separately the cases where the regular group R has a nontrivial proper normal subgroup N with the property that the automorphism group of the digraph fixes each N-coset setwise, and the cases where it does not. In this paper, we deal with undirected graphs in the case where the regular group has such a nontrivial proper normal subgroup.

A Cayley graph Cay (G,S) on a group G with respect to a Cayley subset S is said to be normal if the right regular representation R(G) of G is normal in the full automorphism group of Cay (G,S). For a positive integer n, let Γn be a graph with vertex set {xi,yi|i ∈ ℤ2n} and edge set {{xi,xi+1}, {yi,yi+1}, {x2i,y2i+1}, {y2i,x2i+1}|i ∈ ℤ2n}. In this paper, it is shown that Γn is a Cayley graph and its full automorphism group is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] for n=2, and to [Formula: see text] for n > 2. Furthermore, we determine all pairs of G and S such that Γn= Cay (G,S) is non-normal for G. Using this, all connected cubic non-normal Cayley graphs of order 8p are constructed explicitly for each prime p.

A Cayley graph ${\rm Cay}(G,S)$ on a group $G$ is said to be normal if the right regular representation $R(G)$ of $G$ is normal in the full automorphism group of ${\rm Cay}(G,S)$. In this paper, all connected tetravalent non-normal Cayley graphs of order $4p$ are constructed explicitly for each prime $p$. As a result, there are fifteen sporadic and eleven infinite families of tetravalent non-normal Cayley graphs of order $4p$.

Let Sndenote the symmetric group of degree n with n ≥ 3, S = { cn= (1 2 ⋯ n), [Formula: see text], (1 2)} and Γn= Cay(Sn, S) be the Cayley graph on Snwith respect to S. In this paper, we show that Γn(n ≥ 13) is a normal Cayley graph, and that the full automorphism group of Γnis equal to Aut(Γn) = R(Sn) ⋊ 〈Inn(ϕ) ≅ Sn× ℤ2, where R(Sn) is the right regular representation of Sn, ϕ = (1 2)(3 n)(4 n−1)(5 n−2) ⋯ (∊ Sn), and Inn(ϕ) is the inner isomorphism of Sninduced by ϕ.

In this paper, all groups and graphs considered are finite and all graphs are simple (in the sense of Tutte [8, p. 50]). IfXis such a graph with vertex setV(X)and automorphism groupA(X),we say thatXis agraphical regular representation(GRR) of a given abstract groupGif(I) G ≅ A(X) , and(II)A(X)acts onV(X) as a regular permutation group; that is, givenu, v∈V(X), there exists a uniqueφ∈A(X)for whichφ(u) =v.That for any abstract groupGthere exists a graphXsatisfying (I) is well-known (cf. [3]).

For a prime p, let D4p be the dihedral group 〈a,b | a2p = b2 = 1, b-1ab = a-1〉 of order 4p, and Cay (G,S) a connected cubic Cayley graph of order 4p. In this paper, it is shown that the automorphism group Aut ( Cay (G,S)) of Cay (G,S) is the semiproduct R(G) ⋊ Aut (G,S), where R(G) is the right regular representation of G and Aut (G,S) = {α ∈ Aut (G) | Sα = S}, except either G = D4p (p ≥ 3), Sβ = {b,ab,apb} for some β ∈ Aut (D4p) and [Formula: see text], or Cay (G,S) is isomorphic to the three-dimensional hypercube Q3[Formula: see text] and G = ℤ4 × ℤ2 or D8.

Abstract A Cayley graph \Gamma on a group G is called a dual Cayley graph on G if the left regular representation of G is a subgroup of the automorphism group of \Gamma (note that the right regular representation of G is always an automorphism group of \Gamma ). In this article, we study finite dual Cayley graphs regarding identification, construction, transitivity and such graphs with automorphism groups as small as possible. A few problems worth further research are also proposed.

A Cayley graph [Formula: see text] is called arc-transitive if its automorphism group [Formula: see text] is transitive on the set of arcs in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a characterization of cubic arc-transitive Cayley graphs on a class of Frobenius groups.

We study automorphisms and derivations of a Lie algebra L of finite dimension satisfying certain centrality conditions. As a consequence, we obtain that every nilpotent normal subgroup of the automorphism group of L is unipotent for a very large class of Lie algebras. This result extends one of Leger and Luks. We show that the automorphism group of a nilpotent Lie algebra can have trivial center and have yet a unipotent identity component.

The present paper is a sequel to the previous paper bearing the same title by the same authors [3] and which will be hereafter designated by the bold-face Roman numeral I. Further results are obtained in determining whether a given finite non-abelian group G has a graphical regular representation. In particular, an affirmative answer will be given if (|G|, 6) = 1.Inasmuch as much of the machinery of I will be required in the proofs to be presented and a perusal of I is strongly recommended to set the stage and provide motivation for this paper, an independent and redundant introduction will be omitted in the interest of economy.

Abstract Consider an algebraically closed field ${\textbf{k}}$, and let $\textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$ be the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane over ${\textbf{k}}$. We characterize infinite order elements $g\in \textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$ having a power $g^n$, $n\neq 0$, generating a proper normal subgroup of $\textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$.
