Distinguishing numbers of finite 4-valent vertex-transitive graphs

Florian Lehner, Gabriel Verret · Ars Mathematica Contemporanea · 2020

The distinguishing number of a graph G is the smallest k such that G admits a k-colouring for which the only colour-preserving automorphism of G is the identity. We determine the distinguishing number of finite 4-valent vertex-transitive graphs. We show that, apart from one infinite family and finitely many examples, they all have distinguishing number 2.
