Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminar: Joy Morris
Topic
Oriented Regular Representations
Speakers
Details
An oriented graph is a digraph with at most one arc between any pair of vertices.
We say that the action of a group on a set of points is regular if it is sharply transitive; that is, there is exactly one group element mapping any point to any other point. An oriented regular representation (ORR) for a group G is an oriented graph whose automorphism group is isomorphic to the regular action of G on the vertices. In 1980, Babai asked which groups admit an ORR. I will discuss this problem, and present joint work with Pablo Spiga in which we showed that every non-solvable group admits an ORR.
