    Strongly regular edge-transitive graphs
    (Drustvo Matematikov, Fizikov in Astronomov, 2009) Morris, Joy; Praeger, Cheryl E.; Spiga, Pablo
    In this paper, we examine the structure of vertex- and edge-transitive strongly regular graphs,using normal quotient reduction. We show that their reducible graphs in this family have quasi primitive automorphism groups, and prove (using the Classification of Finite Simple Groups) that no graph in this family has a holomorphic simple automorphism group. We also find some constraints on the parameters of the graphs in this family that reduce to complete graphs

    Hamiltonian cycles in Caley graphs whose order has few prime factors
    (Drustvo Matematikov, Fizikov in Astronomov, 2012) Kutnar, Klavdija; Marusic, Dragan; Morris, Dave Witte; Morris, Joy; Sparl, Primoz
    We prove that if Cay(G;S) is a connected Cayley graph with n vertices,and the prime factorization of n is very small, then Cay(G;S) has a hamiltonian cycle. More precisely, if p, q, and r are distinct primes, then n can be of the form kp with 24 6= k < 32, or of the form kpq with k ≤ 5,or of the form pqr,or of the form kp2 with k ≤ 4,or of the form kp3 with k ≤ 2.

    Caley graphs of order 16p are hamiltonian
    (Drustvo Matematikov, Fizikov in Astronomov, 2012) Curran, Stephen J.; Morris, Dave Witte; Morris, Joy
    Suppose G is a finite group, such that |G| = 16p, where p is prime. We show that if S is any generating set of G, then there is a hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G;S).

    On the automorphism groups of almost all circulant graphs and digraphs
    (Drustvo Matematikov, Fizikov in Astronomov, 2018) Bhoumik, Soumya; Dobson, Edward; Morris, Joy
    We attempt to determine the structure of the automorphism group of a generic circulant graph. We first show that almost all circulant graphs have automorphism groups as small as possible. The second author has conjectured that almost all of the remaining circulant (di)graphs (those whose automorphism group is not as small as possible) are normal circulant (di)graphs. We show this conjecture is not true in general, but is true if we consider only those circulant (di)graphs whose order is in a “large” subset of integers. We note that all non-normal circulant (di)graphs can be classified into two natural classes (generalized wreath products, and deleted wreath type), and show that neither of these classes contains almost every non-normal circulant digraph.

    On colour-preserving automorphisms of Caley graphs
    (Drustvo Matematikov, Fizikov in Astronomov, 2016) Hujdurovic, Ademir; Kutnar, Klavdija; Morris, Dave Witte; Morris, Joy
    We study the automorphisms of a Cayley graph that preserve its natural edge-colouring. More precisely, we are interested in groups G, such that every such automorphism of every connected Cayley graph on G has a very simple form: the composition of a left-translation and a group automorphism. We find classes of groups that have the property, and we determine the orders of all groups that do not have the property. We also have analogous results for automorphisms that permute the colours, rather than preserving them.
