The '''Hoffman–Singleton theorem''' states that any Moore graph with girth 5 must have degree 2, 3, 7, or 57. The Moore graphs are:{{sfnp|Bollobás|1998|loc=Theorem 19, p. 276}}
 
* The [[complete graph]]s <math> K_n </math> on n > 2 nodes. (diameter 1, girth 3, degree n-1, order n)
* The odd [[Cycle graph|cycles]] <math> C_{2n+1} </math>. (diameter n, girth 2n+1, degree 2, order 2n+1)
* The [[Petersen graph]]. (diameter 2, girth 5, degree 3, order 10)
* The [[Hoffman–Singleton graph]]. (diameter 2, girth 5, degree 7, order 50)
* A hypothetical graph of diameter 2, girth 5, degree 57 and order 3250;, itwhose existence is currently unknown whether such a graph exists.{{sfnp|Dalfó|2019}}
 
Unlike all other Moore graphs, [[Graham Higman|Higman]] proved that the unknown Moore graph cannot be [[Vertex-transitive graph|vertex-transitive]]. Mačaj and Širáň further proved that the order of the automorphism group of such a graph is at most 375.{{sfnp|Mačaj|Širáň|2010}}
