The Gray graph is a cubic semisymmetric graph on 54 vertices. It was discovered by Marion C. Gray in 1932, and was first published by Bouwer (1968). Malnič et al. (2002) showed that the Gray graph is indeed the smallest possible cubic semisymmetric graph.
The Gray graph has a single order-9 LCF notation and five distinct order-1 LCF notations.
The Gray graph has girth 8, graph diameter 6, automorphism group order , and is the Levi graph of two dual, triangle-free, point-, line-, and flag-transitive, non-self-dual configurations (Marušič and Pisanski 2000). The symmetric embedding illustrated above is due to (Marušič and Pisanski 2000). The Gray graph is implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData["GrayGraph"].
The Gray graph can be constructed by taking three copies of the complete bipartite graph and, for a particular edge , subdividing in each of the three copies, joining the resulting three vertices to a new vertex, and repeating with each edge.
