Abstract

We study two families of cyclotomic graphs and perfect codes in them. They are Cayley graphs on the additive group of Z[ζm]/A\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_m]/A, with connection sets {±(ζmi+A):0im1}\{\pm (\zeta_m^i + A): 0 \le i \le m-1\} and {±(ζmi+A):0iϕ(m)1}\{\pm (\zeta_m^i + A): 0 \le i \le \phi(m) - 1\}, respectively, where ζm\zeta_m (m2m \ge 2) is an mmth primitive root of unity, AA a nonzero ideal of Z[ζm]\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_m], and ϕ\phi Euler's totient function. We call them the mmth cyclotomic graph and the second kind mmth cyclotomic graph, and denote them by Gm(A)G_{m}(A) and Gm(A)G^*_{m}(A), respectively. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for D/AD/A to be a perfect tt-code in Gm(A)G^*_{m}(A) and a necessary condition for D/AD/A to be such a code in Gm(A)G_{m}(A), where t1t \ge 1 is an integer and DD an ideal of Z[ζm]\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_m] containing AA. In the case when m=3,4m = 3, 4, Gm((α))G_m((\alpha)) is known as an Eisenstein-Jacobi and Gaussian networks, respectively, and we obtain necessary conditions for (β)/(α)(\beta)/(\alpha) to be a perfect tt-code in Gm((α))G_m((\alpha)), where 0α,βZ[ζm]0 \ne \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z}[\zeta_m] with β\beta dividing α\alpha. In the literature such conditions are known to be sufficient when m=4m=4 and m=3m=3 under an additional condition. We give a classification of all first kind Frobenius circulants of valency 2p2p and prove that they are all ppth cyclotomic graphs, where pp is an odd prime. Such graphs belong to a large family of Cayley graphs that are efficient for routing and gossiping.
