Abstract
For simple graphs and on vertices, the friends-and-strangers graph is the graph whose vertex set consists of all bijections , where two bijections and are adjacent if and only if they agree on all but two adjacent vertices such that are adjacent in . Resolving a conjecture of Wang, Lu, and Chen, we completely characterize the connectedness of when is a complete bipartite graph. We further extend this result to when is a complete multipartite graph. We also determine when has exactly two connected components where is bipartite and is a complete bipartite graph.
