Goldstone Abstract

Vertex Transitive Graphs with Neighbor Connectivity One

Richard Goldstone
Department of Mathematics
Marist College

In this talk we consider conditions under which a vertex transitive graph becomes disconnected when a vertex and all its immediate neighbors are removed. More specifically, we discuss a necessary condition phrased in terms of neighborhoods of the deleted vertex and the stabilizer of a particular subset of the neighborhoods. This condition is sufficient for a certain class of vertex transitive graphs to which all cases can be reduced.
