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 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.

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 $p$.

A lemma of Tits establishes a connection between the simple connectivity of an incidence geometry and the universal completion of an amalgam induced by a sufficiently transitive group of automorphisms of that geometry. In the present paper, we generalize this lemma to intransitive geometries, thus opening the door for numerous applications. We treat ourselves some amalgams related to intransitive actions of finite orthogonal groups, as a first class of examples.

We present a complete description of strongly regular graphs admitting a distance-transitive group of automorphisms. Parts of the list have already appeared in the literature; however, this is the first time that the complete list appears in one place. The description is complemented, where possible, with the discussion of the corresponding distance-transitive groups and some further properties of the graphs. We also point out an open problem.

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