Symmetric graphs of valency 4 having a quasi-semiregular automorphism

作者:

Highlights:

• The paper completely finish the classification of symmetric graphs of valency 4 having a quasi-semiregular automorphism, while its partial work for automorphism group being 2-arc-transitive or solvable was done in a former paper in Feng et al. (2019).

• The method in this paper is completely different from the method in Feng et al. (2019). In fact, the former paper in 2019 mainly solved the case when a stabilizer has a bound, and this paper solve the case when a stabilizer has no bound.

• The method in this paper combines group theory and graph theory, and in particular, group theory is widely used, including the well-known classification of non-abelian simple groups.

• The research on the topic of this paper began in 2013, and this was proposed by Kutnar, Malnič, Martínez and Marušič as a kind of symmetry of graphs. After 2013, nearly no much work has been done except the above mentioned work in 2019.
