We characterise connected cubic graphs admitting a vertex-transitive group of automorphisms with an abelian normal subgroup that is not semiregular. We illustrate the utility of this result by using it to prove that the order of a semiregular subgroup of maximum order in a vertex-transitive group of automorphisms of a connected cubic graph grows with the order of the graph.

We study the isomorphism problem of vertex-transitive cubic graphs which have a transitive simple group of automorphisms.

We develop a new framework for analysing finite connected, oriented graphs of valency four, which admit a vertex-transitive and edge-transitive group of automorphisms preserving the edge orientation. We identify a sub-family of `basic' graphs such that each graph of this type is a normal cover of at least one basic graph. The basic graphs either admit an edge-transitive group of automorphisms that is quasiprimitive or biquasiprimitive on vertices, or admit an (oriented or unoriented) cycle as a normal quotient. We anticipate that each of these additional properties will facilitate effective further analysis, and we demonstrate that this is so for the quasiprimitive basic graphs. Here we obtain strong restrictions on the group involved, and construct several infinite families of such graphs which, to our knowledge, are different from any recorded in the literature so far. Several open problems are posed in the paper.

AbstractIt is known that a Steiner triple system is projective if and only if it does not contain the four-triple configuration C14. We find three configurations such that a Steiner triple system is affine if and only if it does not contain one of these configurations. Similarly, we characterise Hall triple systems using two forbidden configurations.Our characterisations have several interesting corollaries in the area of edge-colourings of graphs. A cubic graph G is S-edge-colourable for a Steiner triple system S if its edges can be coloured with points of S in such a way that the points assigned to three edges sharing a vertex form a triple in S. Among others, we show that all cubic graphs are S-edge-colourable for every non-projective nonaffine point-transitive Steiner triple system S.

A bi-Cayley graph is a graph which admits a semiregular group of automorphisms with two orbits of equal size. In this paper, we give a characterization of cubic non-Cayley vertex-transitive bi-Cayley graphs over a regular $p$-group, where $p>5$ is an odd prime. As an application, a classification of cubic non-Cayley vertex-transitive graphs of order $2p^3$ is given for each prime $p$.

The purpose of this brief note is to point out an omission, at the top of page 145, in my paper [1]. Richard Weiss has kindly pointed out that there exist 5-arc-transitive graphs with no 4-arc regular group of automorphisms.
