Abstract If v∈RV(X) is an eigenvector for eigenvalue λ of a graph X and α is an automorphism of X, then α(v) is also an eigenvector for λ . Thus, it is rather exceptional for an eigenvalue of a vertex-transitive graph to have multiplicity one. We study cubic vertex-transitive graphs with a nontrivial simple eigenvalue, and discover remarkable connections to arc-transitivity, regular maps, and number theory.
