Characterizing graphs by their spectra is a fundamental and challenging problem in spectral graph theory, which has received considerable attention in recent years. A major unsolved conjecture in this area is Haemers' conjecture which…

We introduce and study a new graph representation where vertices are embedded in three or more dimensions, and in which the edges are drawn on the projections onto the axis-parallel planes. We show that the complete graph on $n$ vertices…

We consider cell colorings of drawings of graphs in the plane. Given a multi-graph $G$ together with a drawing $\Gamma(G)$ in the plane with only finitely many crossings, we define a cell $k$-coloring of $\Gamma(G)$ to be a coloring of the…

In this paper we are interested in the asymptotic enumeration of bipartite Cayley digraphs and Cayley graphs over abelian groups. Let $A$ be an abelian group and let $\iota$ be the automorphism of $A$ defined by $a^\iota=a^{-1}$, for every…

Given a finite group G, we say that a subset C of G is power-closed if, for every x in C and y in <x> with <x>=<y>, we have that y lies in C. In this paper we are interested in finite Cayley digraphs Cay(G,C) over G with connection set C,…

Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and \v{S}\'{a}mal asked whether every cubelike graph has a cubelike core. Man\v{c}inska, Pivotto, Roberson and Royle answered this question in the affirmative for cubelike graphs whose core has at most $32$ vertices. When…

Quantum graphs are defined by having a Laplacian defined on the edges of a metric graph with boundary conditions on each vertex such that the resulting operator, $\mathbf{L}$, is self-adjoint. We use Neumann boundary conditions although we…

In this paper, we propose the following conjecture which generalizes a theorem proved by Huang [Hua19] in his recent breakthrough proof of the sensitivity conjecture. We conjecture that for any Cayley graph $X = \Gamma(G,S)$ on a group $G$…

A set of graphs are called cospectral if their adjacency matrices have the same characteristic polynomial. In this paper we introduce a simple method for constructing infinite families of cospectral regular graphs. The construction is valid…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $S$ be a symmetric generating set of $G$ with $|S| = d$. We show that if the undirected Cayley sum graph $C_{\Sigma}(G,S)$ is an expander graph and is non-bipartite, then the spectrum of its normalised…

The Cheeger constant of a graph, or equivalently its coboundary expansion, quantifies the expansion of the graph. This notion assumes an implicit choice of a coefficient group, namely, $\mathbb{F}_2$. In this paper, we study Cheeger-type…

A binary Cayley graph is a Cayley graph based on a binary group. In 1982, Payan proved that any non-bipartite binary Cayley graph must contain a generalized Mycielski graph of an odd-cycle, implying that such a graph cannot have chromatic…
