An antipodal distance-regular graph of diameter four or five is a covering graph of a connected strongly regular graph. We give existence conditions for these graphs and show for some types of strongly regular graphs that no nontrivial covers exist.

Let G be a non-bipartite strongly regular graph on n vertices of valency k. We prove that if G has a distance-regular antipodal cover of diameter 4, then k β€ 2(n + 1)/5 , unless G is the complement of triangular graph T (7), the folded Johnson graph J (8, 4) or the folded halved 8-cube. However, for
We find an inequality involving the eigenvalues of a regular graph; equality holds if and only if the graph is strongly regular. We apply this inequality to the first subconstituents of a distance-regular graph and obtain a simple proof of the fundamental bound for distance-regular graphs, discovere
## Abstract Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a graph __G__, a __pebbling move__ consists of taking two pebbles off some vertex __v__ and putting one of them back on a vertex adjacent to __v__. A graph is called __pebbleable__ if for each vertex __v__ there is a sequence of pebbli
A distance-transitive antipodal cover of a complete graph K n possesses an automorphism group that acts 2-transitively on the fibres. The classification of finite simple groups implies a classification of finite 2-transitive permutation groups, and this allows us to determine all possibilities for s
This paper completes the classification of antipodal distance-transitive covers of the complete bipartite graphs K k , k , where k Ρ 3 . For such a cover the antipodal blocks must have size r Ρ k . Although the case r Ο k has already been considered , we give a unified treatment of r Ρ k . We use d
