Abstract
We study the adjacency spectrum of the toroidal three-dimensional queen graph on . Since is a Cayley graph on an abelian group, its adjacency matrix is diagonalized by Fourier characters. For each frequency , the corresponding eigenvalue is , where counts the queen directions orthogonal to modulo . In the generic odd case, meaning odd with , the possible values of are exactly and , and each multiplicity is given by an explicit polynomial in . The proof combines a geometric classification of frequency points by orthogonality type with two global counting identities.
