A note on fragments of infinite graphs

Results involving automorphisms and fragments of infinite graphs are proved. In particular for a given fragmentC and a vertex-transitive subgroupG of the automorphism group of a connected graph there exists σ≠G such that σC] ⊂C. This proves the countable case of a conjecture of L. Babai and M. E. Watkins concerning graphs allowing a vertex-transitive torsion group action. Dedicated to Prof. K. Wagner on his 70^th birthday
