DESCRIPTION:In this talk we will focus on groups acting on gra
phs with a good amount of symmetry\, such as verte
x transitivity. Several conjectures have connected
global and local properties of the graphs in this
class. In particular\, &ldquo\;global" can refer
to the number of automorphisms of a graph\, and lo
cal then refers to certain conditions placed on th
e local action\, that is\, the action induced by a
vertex-stabiliser on the neighbours of the vertex
it fixes. A conjecture of Weiss from 1978 asserts
that under mild conditions on this local action t
he number of automorphisms of a connected vertex-t
ransitive graph should be bounded by a function of
the valency. This conjecture is still very much o
pen. I will report on recent progress on an expand
ed version of the conjecture which uses tools from
group theory developed for the classification of
the finite simple groups.
