1 2-arc-transitive digraphs Michael Giudici Centre for the Mathematics of Symmetry and Computation Groups St Andrews Birmingham, August 2017 on joint work with Cai Heng Li and Binzhou Xia
2 Graphs and digraphs A graph is a symmetric non-reflexive relation A on a set V. Write u v. A digraph is an asymetric non-reflexive relation A on a set V. Write u v.
3 Automorphism groups V is the vertex set, A is the arc set Aut(Γ) is the set of all permutations in Sym(V ) that fixes A setwise. vertex-transitive, arc-transitive
4 s-arcs An s-arc in a graph is v 0 v 1 v 2 v s with v i v i+1.
5 s-arcs An s-arc in a graph is v 0 v 1 v 2 v s with v i v i+1. An s-arc in a digraph is v 0 v 1 v 2 v s.
6 s-arcs An s-arc in a graph is v 0 v 1 v 2 v s with v i v i+1. An s-arc in a digraph is v 0 v 1 v 2 v s. Say Γ is (G, s)-arc-transitive if G is transitive on the set of s-arcs.
7 Bounding s Cycles and directed cycles are s-arc-transitive for all s. Weiss (1981): A graph of valency at least 3 is at most 7-arc-transitive.
8 Bounding s Cycles and directed cycles are s-arc-transitive for all s. Weiss (1981): A graph of valency at least 3 is at most 7-arc-transitive. Praeger (1989): For all k, s 2 there are infinitely many s-arc-transitive digraphs that are not (s + 1)-arc-transitive.
9 Example
10 Local actions-graphs Let Γ be G-arc-transiive graph. Then it is (G, 2)-arc-transitive if and only if G Γ(v) v is 2-transitive. v
11 Local actions-digraphs Let Γ be a G-arc-transitive digraph. Then it is (G, 2)-arc-transitive if and only if G v = G uv G vw. u v w
12 Local actions-digraphs Let Γ be a G-arc-transitive digraph. Then it is (G, 2)-arc-transitive if and only if G v = G uv G vw. u v w Will then be 3-arc-transitive if and only if G uv = G xuv G uvw.
13 Products of digraphs Let Γ be a digraph with vertex set V. Then Γ n is the digraph with vertex set V k and (u 1,..., u n ) (v 1,..., v n ) if and only if u i v i for all i.
14 Products of digraphs Let Γ be a digraph with vertex set V. Then Γ n is the digraph with vertex set V k and (u 1,..., u n ) (v 1,..., v n ) if and only if u i v i for all i. Lemma If Γ is (G, s)-arc-transitive then Γ n is (G S n, s)-arc-transitive.
15 Existence Question Question (Praeger 1989): Does there exist a vertex-primitive 2-arc-transitive digraph?
16 Coset digraphs G a group, H G, g G such that g 1 / HgH. Γ = Cos(G, H, HgH) is the digraph defined by vertices are right cosets of H. Hx Hy if yx 1 HgH. G acts on Γ by right multiplication as a group of automorphisms Γ is connected if and only if H, g = G.
17 An Example Giudici-Li-Xia (2017) G = PSL(3, p 2 ) for p ±2 (mod 5), with p 3. H = A 6, a maximal subgroup H has two conjugacy classes of A 5 s. Take K 1, K 2 from different conjugate classes. There exists g G such that K g 1 = K 2 and g 1 / HgH. Let Γ = Cos(G, H, HgH)
18 An Example Giudici-Li-Xia (2017) G = PSL(3, p 2 ) for p ±2 (mod 5), with p 3. H = A 6, a maximal subgroup H has two conjugacy classes of A 5 s. Take K 1, K 2 from different conjugate classes. There exists g G such that K g 1 = K 2 and g 1 / HgH. Let Γ = Cos(G, H, HgH) Γ is a (G, 2)-arc transitive vertex-primitive digraph

There exists g G such that K g 1 = K 2 and g 1 / HgH. Let Γ = Cos(G, H, HgH) Γ is a (G, 2)-arc transitive vertex-primitive digraph Not 3-arc-transitive.

There exists g G such that K g 1 = K 2 and g 1 / HgH. Let Γ = Cos(G, H, HgH) Γ is a (G, 2)-arc transitive vertex-primitive digraph Not 3-arc-transitive. Also Γ n is (G S n, 2)-arc-transitive and vertex-primitive.
21 Diagonal groups Giudici-Xia (2018) T a finite nonabelian simple group, T = k g = (t 1, t 2,..., t k ) with all entries distinct D = {(t,..., t) t T } Γ(T ) = Cos(T k, D, DgD) Γ(T ) is a (G, 2)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph with G = T k (T Aut(T )).
22 Diagonal groups Giudici-Xia (2018) T a finite nonabelian simple group, T = k g = (t 1, t 2,..., t k ) with all entries distinct D = {(t,..., t) t T } Γ(T ) = Cos(T k, D, DgD) Γ(T ) is a (G, 2)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph with G = T k (T Aut(T )). Not 3-arc-transitive. Also Γ(T ) n is (G S n, 2)-arc-transitive and vertex-primitive.
23 Characterisation Giudici-Xia (2018) Theorem Let Γ be a finite (G, s)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph. Then one of the following holds: Γ = Γ(T ) n for some n 1. Γ = Σ n for some n 1 and Σ is a (H, s)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph with H an almost simple group.
24 Characterisation Giudici-Xia (2018) Theorem Let Γ be a finite (G, s)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph. Then one of the following holds: Γ = Γ(T ) n for some n 1. Γ = Σ n for some n 1 and Σ is a (H, s)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph with H an almost simple group. Question: What is the largest value of s for a (G, s)-arc-transitive vertex-primitive digraph?
