The issue is that we have two vertex-transitive graphs on 156 vertices, coming from two constructions of a generalized quadrangle over GF(5). According to sage these graphs are not isomorphic, but the graphs we obtain by deleting one vertex from each are isomorphic. One of these claims has to be false (in fact we know that the graphs are isomorphic).
We can supply more details about the graph(s) on request.

Now construct the graphs we get by deleting one vertex: sage: DualW50 = DualW5.copy(); TO50 = TO5.copy() sage: DualW50.delete_vertex(0); TO50.delete_vertex(0) sage: DualW50; TO50 Graph on 155 vertices Graph on 155 vertices Are they isomorphic? sage: DualW50.is_isomorphic(TO50) True ##### ## g1 is the graph6 string for point graph of the dual of W(5) g1 = '~?a[~~{acbcwv_~__ooccw_faa{cf{ccaaac__bcccwoov___~____ooooccccw___faaaa{cccf{ccccaaaaac____bcccccwoooov_____...@acg_@ac...@acg?{?`a?gv_go@a...@?_ogcc?_oi@?...@?_om?_ogd?f_a@o...@{a@?_o...@?gca?@_...@o?b_@ogca?...@?gc?@{a?go`???...@ac??e?o`?cg??[?o`a?g??{?go`a???|a?_goc...@_ocgaceags?ha?_sa`ao@g?coc_n...@aop?gno@_gacoe?g?`ogaccogagoc?ha?`gorcg...@b?k@[`a?...@a@by...@?scaba?h?sa?a@gc`ch?q?c_c?c...@g_aocoa@ax?qc?_goo_...@a?oc@ca...@cga_o`?gsgpagoc_@oo_achag...@cb?_`ax?gqc?_caocg^ogac@_d?igo`?d?o_i?haoo`agoha?cc?oao`aw_q?hcacacgo`[_ocha?_ccacg...@cago`a?gcogc@?i?oqoc?ig...@cagcce?a@dbg...@c_cp?og_va_cog@d?_oa_d...@co?ah?ga@?a?_...@a@@o...@?@p...@gco_aaco_a_?`k_gcq@?caog_og...@?k?ccgh?i?aby@C?G_S@@g...@c`?oi?_d?op@g?i...@o_agcp?ag?gcpax?ca?ogsgcgcagcj`?oagcchaa?a_cg^o@cag_gcscagccg...@oa_`?`?g_oacg_`cagoao_h?a_?`axa?ogcaaop?a@?cgva...@_agg`oa_?o`|?ga?cokaa...@o`a?a?s@?hcg`?_?go`aggac?pcaog...@go`k_cq@?go_`ogcaacg...@_coocq?g?i?o`byc?g_p?o`a?h@g?_p?`oagc?gd...@_gcagdg_oa@ccpc?aoq??...@_agco____occ_@oabao...@c_h?aooc@?a`y?pc...@ooh??cog_ooag@_coap?wa?_k...@c_cq@?haach...@p?_awgac?p?ga_c_gad?i?awa?s@?K?`C_GAOGCS?@|?co...@caaoq?agcagoacog@_g...@_g@CA@@aha?ogc?w...@g?p?_?ch_`cagogacc@@ga?s?cg...@oa_cicaooc?po?og^og_@cac_cc?aop?_o...@?oagco_go_gb@?_og`ah?ca?oh?`p??cc_o?s...@o_agcai?q?_ggs?d?o`[oi?_d@@cca?cca_?_o`by?_pc?igag...@a@?ao`...@?k?__`_e?_gca@cgo`c_...@a?gaoq?@c?dca...@gco_agpa@@gaa?a_co`aw_...@?scb@?oc_...@acngoc@a?acgoca...@ca?h@g...@aoga?oog_o?g_oa?odc_ao@go...@p?_a@d??cc``o?cgao...@oa_cagca?_cwka?`?owgg?_po?i?s?h@?^o...@_aa@cag...@?_q?@h?_ocha?oqa_p?_g_o?wa?_ig_q...@a@adca?ai?ac_?qawoha?cagg_i?s?g...@ga?`[d?o_ia?`ggcs?oa_?c@?q?^...@_g_ca@c...@?ogcoh@g...@a@?gqc...@gp?_og?iggb?ocgag?co@a__qgc?...@ch@g?grag...@ggow@o?o_oga?_c...@cga_ooac?a_?a?a_ccc@?cnga...@gge@?_o...@?_?qa`a@?qc?_kggo_og...@?a?_kcgpc@g_aoagpg...@?a_a?@ggo`kh?q?c_qgaa_?gog_oa?_gg`awh?sa?`?ca...@d?i?@?qa?`b...@?o`ggaca@c...@cc_?wo`?`a?och?`oca@cog?i...@acgpcg_ao@_aaa?aa?g...@g?co`awoc?ha?ocg_?g@ogcaa...@acj_`ogacagcs?cagi?a`@?OCACG^' # g2 is is graph6 string for point graph of T2(O) in GF(5) g2 = '~?a[??osr?warsetcj_qwasehoxqg`qwchk?qsefq_stiawiv?xir?kac?b?`?cocg?o...@_?`??b?`?o@_o_wco...@_?`w?e?ad_o?wcceo?wcsegagaiaa@_?aw?ok?er...@_hqxa?b@q_p...@qg_`?o?h[?gok@i...@a?beqcocg?k\ib?gocwitc?gokwiv??cgekdh_h_?cb?`?dc??_wcg?so?ap?o_?g_?d_?`?c__?d_?`?cco??@_o_xdc???wcgegg_??a?`g_aa??e?...@cc??k?cj?@@k?o?wcce?aa?g?kaib?gg_a?a?...@dc?ok?cv??eoo@?o?xk??gh`a?b?qco?gg`...@q_o?cso`?p?hso?@dcgok?iv???k...@_hqwc??_ccg?kxirg?@d?go?wys...@d?gocwitcc??a_cgekdj_@?...@a@bHQWAW?@@k??_wcg?g_?cs...@_o_@p??gg_?ca...@p??gg_?d_?`?c__?eoo?ao?o_aaw?@@k???wcgepp??gg_??b?`?pdc??aa??agacaa...@dc??k?cj?bgg?@cC??K?CJ?@@k??_e?g?kaar?pp??gg_a?b?a_oa...@dc?ococtc?gg_?cso@?o?p[...@??k__a@_?qw??or??gh`a?b?qco?gg_?cs...@_how?aig?@dcgocoitc??pp??g...@_@q...@cc??qacge?dh_o?aaw?@@ggo?wqseo?a...@d?go?wyseg?@dc??a_cgaktiaa??pp?...@a@b...@qw?o?bgg?@c?gokxir?kac?h_?cc...@_o_?wcg@p??gg_?cb?`?c...@p??gg_?ca?`?e?ac?g_?cso?ao?o_@_...@gg?@cc??k?cg??wcgor??gh_??b?...@_o`dc??aa???kacb?a?`aig?@dc??co...@_?`aig?@dc??k?cj??o?o`cc??qa??e?ad_o?wc?or??gh_a?b?_cq?b?_a...@dc?o?wcsegaga?gg_?cso@?p?psook?c?pp??g...@_?aw?ok?c?x@??k...@_?qwcg?k??gh_?cco`?@_hqxa?b??a...@dcgo?wisegoco??pp??gg`a?a@qg_`?...@dc??aacge?dj_@a...@_??bgg?@cc...@ir?@A?BO?AAW?@@ggo?wqse...@g?@dc??a_cg?k\ib?gocq??pp?...@a?bdqg_@a...@_o?aig?@d?gokwiv??...@??k__?eo?`?pchk?_sa_oi@ogd?gca...@oi?c@h?q?c_h?qoc_hgaocc?qoc_hga...@gaq?c@h?qd?gca...@oi@?gd?_sa_oka...@oi@?gd?_sa...@ohi?c_h?qoc_hgaocc@gaq?ec_h?qoc_hga...@gaq?c@xd?_sa...@ogd?gca_sa@pkg...@acgsgo`?`acicgo_?acgocgo`?o`ac`achacgo???^?????}bw????fo^???????fo?}?????bw?^?bw?????go`ao`ac`acgacgocgo`??acgo_o`adacgogo`a@acgoa...@{?n_@{?????fo?}????ofo????n_}?...@{????bw?oacgogo`a@acgsgo`?`acg?oacgo_go`ao`ac`acgac...@g???fo^?????}bw????fo??ac@{?????fo?}?fo?????^??aogo`ao...@acgqcgo_go`a?haacgogo`a@acgogo`a`acg?gq??^?bw????...@{?????fo?qc??fo^?????}????@{fo???chacgo_o`acacgog...@acgo@aocgo`?o`ac`acgacgocg...@gqfo????n_????^@{????bw??`grw????...@{?????fo?}???hao_oi@ogd?gca...@oi@?gdk_...@gaq?c@H?Q?c_H?QOC_HEW????????????????????????~~~~~' -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
