In this paper we prove that there are infinitely many abelian left symmetric algebras in dimensions ≥ 6. Equivalently this means that there are, up to affine conjugation, infinitely many simply transitive affine actions of Rk, for k ≥ 6. This is a result which is usually credited to A.T. Vasquez, but for which there is no proof in the literature.

A graph $Gamma$ is said to be vertex-transitive or edge‎- ‎transitive‎ ‎if the automorphism group of $Gamma$ acts transitively on $V(Gamma)$ or $E(Gamma)$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎Let $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ be a Cayley graph on $G$ relative to $S$‎. ‎Then, $Gamma$ is said to be normal edge-transitive‎, ‎if $N_{Aut(Gamma)}(G)$ acts transitively on edges‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎the eigenvalues of normal edge-tra...

Symmetric function theory provides a basis for computing Galois groups which is largely independent of the coefficient ring. An exact algorithm has been implemented over Q(t1, t2, . . . , tm) in Maple for degree up to 8. A table of polynomials realizing each transitive permutation group of degree 8 as a Galois group over the rationals is included.

With any G-symmetric graph admitting a nontrivial G-invariant partition B, we may associate a natural ‘‘cross-sectional’’ geometry, namely the 1-design DðBÞ 1⁄4 ðB; BðBÞ; IÞ in which IC for 2B and C 2 BðBÞ if and only if is adjacent to at least one vertex in C, where B2B and BðBÞ is the neighbourhood of B in the quotient graph B of with respect to B. In a vast number of cases, the dual 1-design...
