On Classification of 2-Arc Transitive Cayley Graphs of the Dicyclic Group

In this paper we first determine all possible connected core-free 2-arc transitive Cayley graphs of the dicyclic group, $$B_{4n}$$ , and then show that this can be used to classify all connected 2-arc transitive Cayley graphs of this group in terms of regular cyclic covers, provided that we also know connected core-free 2-arc transitive Cayley graphs of the dihedral group.
