A tricirculant is a graph admitting a non-identity automorphism having three cycles of equal length in its cycle decomposition. A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group acts transitively on the set of its arcs. In this paper it is shown that the complete bipartite graph $K_{3,3}$, the Pappus graph, Tutte's 8-cage and the unique cubic symmetric graph of order 54 are the only connected cubic symmetric tricirculants.

This paper contributes to the regular covers of a complete bipartite graph minus a matching, denoted $K_{n,n}-nK_{2}$, whose fiber-preserving automorphism group acts 2-arc-transitively. All such covers, when the covering transformation group $K$ is either cyclic or $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{2}$ with $p$ a prime, have been determined in Xu and Du [‘2-arc-transitive cyclic covers of $K_{n,n}-nK_{2}$’, J. Algebraic Combin.39 (2014), 883–902] and Xu et al. [‘2-arc-transitive regular covers of $K_{n,n}-nK_{2}$ with the covering transformation group $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{2}$’, Ars. Math. Contemp.10 (2016), 269–280]. Finally, this paper gives a classification of all such covers for $K\cong \mathbb{Z}_{p}^{3}$ with $p$ a prime.

AbstractThe Jevons group AS̃n is an isometry group of the Hamming metric on the n-dimensional vector space Vn over GF(2). It is generated by the group of all permutation (n × n)-matrices over GF(2) and the translation group on Vn. Earlier the authors of the present paper classified the submetrics of the Hamming metric on Vn for n ⩾ 4, and all overgroups of AS̃n which are isometry groups of these overmetrics. In turn, each overgroup of AS̃n is known to define orbital graphs whose “natural” metrics are submetrics of the Hamming metric. The authors also described all distance-transitive orbital graphs of overgroups of the Jevons group AS̃n. In the present paper we classify the distance-transitive orbital graphs of overgroups of the Jevons group. In particular, we show that some distance-transitive orbital graphs are isomorphic to the following classes: the complete graph 2n, the complete bipartite graph K2n−1,2n−1, the halved (n + 1)-cube, the folded (n + 1)-cube, the graphs of alternating forms, the Taylor graph, the Hadamard graph, and incidence graphs of square designs.

A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group acts transitively on its arcs. In this paper, a complete classification of connected pentavalent symmetric graphs of order $12p$ is given for each prime $p$. As a result, a connected pentavalent symmetric graph of order $12p$ exists if and only if $p=2$, $3$, $5$ or $11$, and up to isomorphism, there are only nine such graphs: one for each $p=2$, $3$ and $5$, and six for $p=11$.

AbstractAn automorphism group of a graph is said to be s-regular if it acts regularly on the set of s-arcs in the graph. A graph is s-regular if its full automorphism group is s-regular. For a connected cubic symmetric graph X of order 2pn for an odd prime p, we show that if p ≠ 5, 7 then every Sylow p-subgroup of the full automorphism group Aut(X) of X is normal, and if p ≠3 then every s-regular subgroup of Aut(X) having a normal Sylow p-subgroup contains an (s − 1)-regular subgroup for each 1 ≦ s ≦ 5. As an application, we show that every connected cubic symmetric graph of order 2pn is a Cayley graph if p > 5 and we classify the s-regular cubic graphs of order 2p2 for each 1≦ s≦ 5 and each prime p. as a continuation of the authors' classification of 1-regular cubic graphs of order 2p2. The same classification of those of order 2p is also done.

AbstractA graph is s-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on s-arcs but not on (s+1)-arcs in the graph. Let X be a connected tetravalent s-transitive graph of order twice a prime power. In this paper it is shown that s=1,2,3 or 4. Furthermore, if s=2, then X is a normal cover of one of the following graphs: the 4-cube, the complete graph of order 5, the complete bipartite graph K5,5 minus a 1-factor, or K7,7 minus a point-hyperplane incidence graph of the three-dimensional projective geometry PG(2,2); if s=3, then X is a normal cover of the complete bipartite graph of order 4; if s=4, then X is a normal cover of the point-hyperplane incidence graph of the three-dimensional projective geometry PG(2,3). As an application, we classify the tetravalent s-transitive graphs of order 2p2 for prime p.

Let L(G) be the second skew-symmetric cohomology group of the residual space of a graph G. We determine L(G) in the case G is a 3-connected simple graph, and give the structure of L(G) in the case of G is a complete graph and a complete bipartite graph. By using these results, we determine the Wu invariants in L(G) of the spatial embeddings of the complete graph and those of the complete bipartite graph, respectively. Since the Wu invariant of a spatial embedding is a complete invariant up to homology which is an equivalence relation on spatial embeddings introduced in [12], we give a homology classification of the spatial embeddings of such graphs.

The best lower bound known on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph is : $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)(m)(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor(n-1)/2\rfloor$$ In this paper we prove that: $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)m(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor (n-1)/2 \rfloor + 9.9 \times 10^{-6} m^2n^2$$ for sufficiently large $m$ and $n$.

The crossing number cr ( G ) of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. The main goal of the paper is to state the crossing number of the join product K 2 , 3 + C n for the complete bipartite graph K 2 , 3 , where C n is the cycle on n vertices. In the proofs, the idea of a minimum number of crossings between two distinct configurations in the various forms of arithmetic means will be extended. Finally, adding one more edge to the graph K 2 , 3 , we also offer the crossing number of the join product of one other graph with the cycle C n .
