We establish a geometrical framework for the study of imprimitive, G‐symmetric graphs Г by exploiting the fact that any G‐partition B of the vertex set VГ gives rise both to a quotient graph ГB and to a tactical configuration D(B) induced on each block B ∈ B. We also examine those cases in which D(B) is degenerate, and characterize the possible graphs Г in many cases where the quotient ГB is either a complete graph or a circuit. When D(B) is non‐degenerate, a natural extremal case occurs when D(B) is a symmetric 2‐design with stabilizer G(B) acting doubly transitively on points: we characterize such graphs in the case where ГB is complete.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
