Abstract
The Graovac-Pisanski index, which is also called the modified Wiener index, considers the symmetries and the distances in molecular graphs. Carbon nanotubes are molecules made of carbon with a cylindrical structure possessing unusual valuable properties. In a mathematical model we can consider them as a subgraph of a hexagonal lattice embedded on a cylinder with some vertices being identified. In the present paper, we investigate the automorphisms and the orbits of armchair nanotubes and derive the closed formulas for their Graovac-Pisanski index.
