Integral Cayley graphs of symmetric groups on transpositions
Abstract
We study subsets consisting of some transpositions of the symmetric group on such that the Cayley graph is an integral graph, i.e., all eigenvalues of an adjacency matrix of are integers. Graph properties of are determined in terms of ones of the graph whose vertex set is and is an edge if and only if . Here we prove that if is a tree then is integral if and only if is isomorphic to the star graph , answering Problem 5 of [Electron. J. Comnin., 29(2) (2022) \# P2.9]. Problem 6 of the latter article asks to find necessary and sufficient conditions on for integralness of without any further assumption on . We show that if is a graph which we call it a ``generalized complete multipartite graph" then is integral. We conjecture that is integral only if is a generalized complete multipartitie graph. To support the latter conjecture we show its validity whenever is some classes of graphs including cycles and cubic graphs.
