Abstract
In this article we study the product action of the direct product of automorphism groups of graphs. We generalize the results of Watkins [J. Combin Theory 11 (1971), 95–104], Nowitz and Watkins [Monatsh. Math. 76 (1972), 168–171] and W. Imrich [Israel J. Math. 11 (1972), 258–264], and we show that except for an infinite family of groups Sn × Sn, n≥2 and three other groups D4 × S2, D4 × D4 and S4 × S2 × S2, the direct product of automorphism groups of two graphs is itself the automorphism group of a graph. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
