On infinite graphs with a primitive automorphism group (Q1331967)

This article announces the following theorem: Let \(\Gamma\) be an infinite locally finite planar graph. Then \(\Gamma\) has a primitive automorphism group iff (a) \(\Gamma\) is 1-connected; (b) for some \(m\geq 2\) each vertex of \(\Gamma\) lies on exactly \(m\) lobes; and (c) the lobes of \(\Gamma\) are all isomorphic to \(K_ 4\) or are \(p\)-circuits, for some fixed prime \(p\). A complete proof will appear elsewhere.
