Abstract

Let q = pe ≡ 1(mod 4) be a prime power, and let Π(q) be the Paley graph over the finite field double-struck F signq. Denote by Γ(q) the subgraph of Π(q) induced on the set of non-zero squares of double-struck F signq. In this paper the full automorphism group of r(q) is determined affirming the conjecture of Brouwer [Des. Codes Cryptograph. 21, 69-76 (2000)]. The proof combines spectral and Schur ring techniques.
