In this paper, we study 2-geodesic-transitive graphs of order twice an odd prime power. Classifications of corresponding basic graphs and such graphs with almost simple automorphism groups are given, and a reduction theorem for general case is obtained. Certain new 2-geodesic-transitive graphs are found, and a Magma code regarding 2-geodesic-transitive graphs is provided.
A fascinating problem on digraphs is the existence problem of the finiteupper bound on s for all vertex-primitive s-arc-transitive digraphs except directed cycles (which is known to be reduced to the almost simple groups case). In this paper,we prove that s 2 for all G-vertex-primitive s-arc-transitive digraphs with G an (insoluble) alternating or symmetric group, which makes an important progress towards a solution of the problem. The proofs involves some methods that may be used to investigate other almost simple groups cases.
