Abstract

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite connected cubic $T$-arc-transitive graph, where $T \leq \operatorname{Aut}(\Gamma)$ is a nonabelian simple group. Let $p>|T|_2$ be an odd prime, and $(p,|T|)=1$. Then there exists a normal cover $\widetilde{\Gamma}$ of $\Gamma$ with $\operatorname{Aut}(\widetilde{\Gamma})=P . T$ and the covering transformation group $P \in \operatorname{Syl}_p(\operatorname{Aut}(\widetilde{\Gamma}))$.
