Abstract
We give a general construction leading to different non-isomorphic families of connected q-regular semisymmetric graphs of order 2q (n+1) embedded in , for a prime power q=p (h) , using the linear representation of a particular point set of size q contained in a hyperplane of . We show that, when is a normal rational curve with one point removed, the graphs are isomorphic to the graphs constructed for q=p (h) in Lazebnik and Viglione (J. Graph Theory 41, 249-258, 2002) and to the graphs constructed for q prime in Du et al. (Eur. J. Comb. 24, 897-902, 2003). These graphs were known to be semisymmetric but their full automorphism group was up to now unknown. For qa parts per thousand yenn+3 or q=p=n+2, na parts per thousand yen2, we obtain their full automorphism group from our construction by showing that, for an arc , every automorphism of is induced by a collineation of the ambient space . We also give some other examples of semisymmetric graphs for which not every automorphism is induced by a collineation of their ambient space.
