Babai–Godsil–Imrich–Lovász conjecture on almost all Cayley graphs being GRRs

About 13 years old · traced to

Let RR be a group of order rr that is neither abelian of exponent greater than 22 nor generalized dicyclic. For a subset S⊆RS\subseteq R, write Cay⁡(R,S)\operatorname{Cay}(R,S) for the Cayley digraph with vertex set RR and arcs (u,v)(u,v) whenever vu−1∈Svu^{-1}\in S. If S=S−1S=S^{-1}, this is a Cayley graph. A graphical regular representation (GRR) is a Cayley graph whose full automorphism group is RR acting regularly on its vertices.

Babai–Godsil–Imrich–Lovász conjecture. The proportion of inverse-closed subsets SS of RR such that Cay⁡(R,S)\operatorname{Cay}(R,S) is a GRR of RR approaches 11 as rr approaches infinity.

The paper states that this conjecture is completely solved in the affirmative, with an explicit lower bound for the proportion and hence convergence to 11.
