Fascinating! Thanks, Adam. Now I wonder the same thing if n and k are allowed to be infinite. If one or both are countable, that would go a long way. How about countable valence & every vertex non-adjacent to exactly 2 vertices? Dan ----- Wikipedia gives a complete classification of these graphs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_graph#Classification which implies that the answer to your question is 'precisely when (n, k) is one of the following tuples': (0, 0); (2, 2); (4, 4); (a-1, ab) where a and b are positive integers; (ab, a-1) where a and b are positive integers.
