In this paper, we investigate a suborbital graph for the normalizer of Γ0(N) ∈ PSL(2;R), where N will be of the form 24p2 such that p > 3 is a prime number. Then we give edge and circuit conditions ...on graphs arising from the non-transitive action of the normalizer.
A triangle group is denoted by
and has finite presentation
We examine a method for composition of permutation representations of a triangle group
that was used in Everitt's proof of Higman's 1968 ...conjecture that every Fuchsian group has amongst its homomorphic images all but finitely many alternating groups. We see that some of these compositions must give imprimitive representations. In particular situations, where the representations being composed are all equivalent copies of an alternating group in the same degree containing at least one handle, then
has a quotient
. We also prove that if G has a quotient
containing at least two handles, then G has a quotient
for many
. This article contains the main results of the author's PhD thesis.
In this paper, we provide a method to determine when transitive imprimitive groups synchronize a transformation of non-uniform kernel, that is, we give the condition of
⟨
G
,
α
⟩
being a ...synchronizing semigroup where
G
is transitive imprimitive and
α
is transformation of non-uniform kernel.
A graph-theoretic environment is used to study the connection between imprimitivity and semiregularity, two concepts arising naturally in the context of permutation groups. Among other, it is shown ...that a connected arc-transitive graph admitting a nontrivial automorphism with two orbits of odd length, together with an imprimitivity block system consisting of blocks of size 2, orthogonal to these two orbits, is either the canonical double cover of an arc-transitive circulant or the wreath product of an arc-transitive circulant with the empty graph

The classification of 2-arc-transitive Cayley graphs of cyclic groups, given in (J. Algebra. Combin. 5 (1996) 83–86) by Alspach, Conder, Xu and the author, motivates the main theme of this article: ...the study of 2-arc-transitive Cayley graphs of dihedral groups. First, a previously unknown infinite family of such graphs, arising as covers of certain complete graphs, is presented, leading to an interesting property of Singer cycles in the group
PGL(2,
q),
q an odd prime power, among others. Second, a structural reduction theorem for 2-arc-transitive Cayley graphs of dihedral groups is proved, putting us—modulo a possible existence of such graphs among regular cyclic covers over a small family of certain bipartite graphs—a step away from a complete classification of such graphs. As a byproduct, a partial description of 2-arc-transitive Cayley graphs of abelian groups with at most three involutions is also obtained.

Regular covers of complete graphs which are 2-arc-transitive are investigated. A classification is given of all such graphs whose group of covering transformations is either cyclic or isomorphic to ...Zp×Zp, wherepis a prime and whose fibre- preserving subgroup of automorphisms acts 2-arc-transitively. As a result two new families of 2-arc-transitive graphs are obtained.
