Normal Cayley graphs of finite groups

LetG be a finite group and let S be a nonempty subset of G not containing the identity element 1. The Cayley (di) graph X = Cay(G, S) of G with respect to S is defined byV (X)=G, E (X)={(g,sg)|g∈G, s∈S} A Cayley (di) graph X = Cay (G,S) is said to be normal ifR(G) ◃A = Aut (X). A group G is said to have a normal Cayley (di) graph if G has a subset S such that the Cayley (di) graph X = Cay (G, S) is normal. It is proved that every finite group G has a normal Cayley graph unlessG≅ℤ₄×ℤ₂ orG≅Q ₈×ℤ ₂ ^r (r⩾0) and that every finite group has a normal Cayley digraph, where Z_m is the cyclic group of orderm and Q₈ is the quaternion group of order 8.

THE NORMALITY OF CAYLEY GRAPHS OF SIMPLE GROUP A5 WITH SMALL VALENCIES

Let G be a finite group and S a subset of G not containing the identity element 1. We define the Cayley (di)graph X = Cay(G, S) of G with respect to S by V(X) = G,E(X) = {(g, sg) [ g ∈ G, s ∈ S}. A Cayley (di)graph X = Cay(G, S) is called normal if GR A = Aut(X). In this paper we prove that if S = {a, b, c} is a 3-generating subset of G = A5 not containing the identity 1, then X = Cay(G, S) is a normal Cayley digraph.     

On the Classification of Arc-transitive Circulant Digraphs of Order Odd-Prime-Squared

A Cayley graph F = Cay（G, S） of a group G with respect to S is called a circulant digraph of order pk if G is a cyclic group of the same order. Investigated in this paper are the normality conditions for arc-transitive circulant （di）graphs of order p^2 and the classification of all such graphs. It is proved that any connected arc-transitive circulant digraph of order p^2 is, up to a graph isomorphism, either Kp2, G（p^2,r）, or G（p,r）[pK1], where r｜p- 1.     

Two sufficient conditions for non-normal Cayley graphs and their applications

A Cayley graph 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 Cay(G, S). In this paper, two sufficient conditions for non-normal Cayley graphs are given and by using the conditions, five infinite families of connected non-normal Cayley graphs are constructed. As an application, all connected non-normal Cayley graphs of valency 5 on A5 are determined, which generalizes a result about the normality of Cayley graphs of valency 3 or 4 on A5 determined by Xu and Xu. Further, we classify all non-CI Cayley graphs of valency 5 on A5, while Xu et al. have proved that As is a 4-CI group.     

Circulant Double Coverings of a Circulant Graph of Valency Four

Several isomorphism classes of graph coverings of a graph G have been enumerated by many authors (see [3], [8]–[15]). A covering of G is called circulant if its covering graph is circulant. Recently, the authors [4] enumerated the isomorphism classes of circulant double coverings of a certain kind, called typical, and showed that no double covering of a circulant graph of valency 3 is circulant. In this paper, the isomorphism classes of connected circulant double coverings of a circulant graph of valency 4 are enumerated. As a consequence, it is shown that no double covering of a non-circulant graph G of valency 4 can be circulant if G is vertex-transitive or G has a prime power of vertices.
