Abstract

A graph Γ is said to be a G-locally primitive graph, for G ≥ Aut Γ, if for every vertex, α, the stabiliser Gα induces a primitive permutation group on Γ (α) the set of vertices adjacent to α. In 1978 Richard Weiss conjectured that there exists a function f: such that for any finite connected vertex-transitive G-locally primitive graph of valency d and a vertex α of the graph, |Gα| ≥ f(d). The purpose of this paper is to prove that, in the case Soc(G) = Sz(q), the conjecture is true.
