A graph Γ is said to be G-semisymmetric if it is regular and there exists a subgroup G of A := Aut(Γ) acting transitively on its edge set but not on its vertex set. In the case of G = A, we call Γ a semisymmetric graph. The aim of this paper is to investigate (G-)semisymmetric graphs of prime degree. We give a group-theoretical construction of such graphs, and give a classification of semisymmetric cubic graphs of order 6p2 for an odd prime p.

The normality of symmetry property of Cayley graphs of valencies 3 and 4 on the alternating group A5 is studied. We prove that all but four such graphs are normal;that A5 is not 5-CI. A complete classification of all arc-transitive Cayley graphs on A5 of valencies 3 and 4 as well as some examples of trivalent and tetravalent GRRs of A5 is given.
LetG be a finite group, andS a subset ofG \ |1| withS =S ?1. We useX = Cay(G,S) to denote the Cayley graph ofG with respect toS. We callS a Cl-subset ofG, if for any isomorphism Cay(G,S) ≈ Cay(G,T) there is an α∈ Aut(G) such thatS α =T. Assume that m is a positive integer.G is called anm-Cl-group if every subsetS ofG withS =S ?1 and | S | ≤m is Cl. In this paper we prove that the alternating groupA 5 is a 4-Cl-group, which was a conjecture posed by Li and Praeger.
