The P.I. will study his newly developed techniques relating                group presentations to certain graph theoretical data, allowing                 him to extend earlier results concerning s-transitive graphs,                   generalized polygons, the sporadic group and distance-transitive                graphs.  He will continue his efforts to generalize these                       techniques and to apply them to a variety of problems related to                sporadic groups, finite geometries and amalgams.  He also will                  continue his investigation into the theory of locally s-                        transitive graphs based on various innovations of Delgado,                      Stellmacher and the P.I. which have recently yielded a                          dramatically simplified proof of Goldschmidt's theorem on                       trivalent graphs with an edge-transitive automorphism group.                         This research will focus on the area of mathematics which                  bridges graph theory and group theory.  This blending of                        combinatorics and algebra has been a very fruitful endeavor                     enhancing both subjects.  Weiss is a major worker in this area                  and his results will surely prove very important.
