Abstract

The decomposition of complex networks into smaller, interconnected components is a central challenge in network theory with a wide range of potential applications. In this paper, we utilize tools from group theory and ring theory to study this problem when the network is a Cayley graph. In particular, we answer the following question: Which Cayley graphs are prime?
