Abstract

A diamond is the graph that is obtained from removing an edge from the complete graph on 44 vertices. A (C4C_4,diamond)-free graph is a graph that does not contain a diamond or a cycle on four vertices as induced subgraphs. Let GG be a connected (C4C_4,diamond)-free graph on nn vertices. Let 1kn11 \le k \le n-1 be an integer. The kk-token graph, Fk(G)F_k(G), of GG is the graph whose vertices are all the sets of kk vertices of GG; two of which are adjacent if their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in GG. Let FF be a graph isomorphic to Fk(G)F_k(G). In this paper we show that given only FF, we can construct in polynomial time a graph isomorphic to GG. Let Aut(G)\operatorname{Aut}(G) be the automorphism group of GG. We also show that if kn/2k\neq n/2, then Aut(G)Aut(Fk(G))\operatorname{Aut}(G) \simeq \operatorname{Aut}(F_k(G)); and if k=n/2k = n/2, then Aut(G)Aut(Fk(G))×Z2\operatorname{Aut}(G) \simeq \operatorname{Aut}(F_k(G)) \times \mathbb{Z}_2.
