Automorphisms of coverings of strongly regular graphs with parameters (81,20,1,6)

The possible orders and subgraphs of fixed points of the automorphisms of distance-regular graphs of diameter 4 which are r-coverings of a strongly regular graph with parameters (81, 20, 1, 6) for r ∈ {2, 3, 6} are found. It is proved that, if the automorphism group of a covering of the above type acts transitively on the set of vertices of the graph, then r = 3.
