Automorphism group of the complete alternating group graph

Abstract: Let

S_{n}

and

A_{n}

denote the symmetric group and alternating group of degree

n

with

n g e q 3

, respectively. Let

S

be the set of all

3

-cycles in

S_{n}

. The emph{complete alternating group graph}, denoted by

C A G_{n}

, is defined as the Cayley graph

m a t h r m C a y (A_{n}, S)

on

A_{n}

with respect to

S

. In this paper, we show that

C A G_{n}

(

n g e q 4

) is not a normal Cayley graph. Furthermore, the automorphism group of

C A G_{n}

for

n g e q 5

is obtained, which equals to

m a t h r m A u t (C A G_{n}) = (R (A_{n}) t i m e s m a t h r m I n n (S_{n})) t i m e s m a t h b b Z_{2} c o n g (A_{n} t i m e s S_{n}) t i m e s m a t h b b Z_{2}

, where

R (A_{n})

is the right regular representation of

A_{n}

,

m a t h r m I n n (S_{n})

is the inner automorphism group of

S_{n}

, and

m a t h b b Z_{2} = l a n g l e h a n g l e

, where

h

is the map

a l p h a m a p s t o a l p h a^{- 1}

(

f o r a l l a l p h a i n A_{n}

).
