An edge-colouring of a graph is distinguishing, if the only automorphism which preserves the colouring is the identity. It has been conjectured that all but finitely many connected, finite, regular graphs admit a distinguishing…

We supply an upper bound on the distinguishing chromatic number of certain infinite graphs satisfying an adjacency property. Distinguishing proper $n$-colourings are generalized to the new notion of distinguishing homomorphisms. We prove…

To any finite group $G$, we may associate a graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if the order of the subgroup $\langle x, y\rangle$ is divisible by at least 3…

Given a 2-generated finite group $G$, the non-generating graph of $G$ has as vertices the elements of $G$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are distinct and do not generate $G$. We consider the graph $\Sigma(G)$ obtained…

Let $\Gamma$ be an undirected and simple graph. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components containing cycles. If $\Gamma$ has a cyclic…

A retract of a graph $\Gamma$ is an induced subgraph $\Psi$ of $\Gamma$ such that there exists a homomorphism from $\Gamma$ to $\Psi$ whose restriction to $\Psi$ is the identity map. A graph is a core if it has no nontrivial retracts. In…

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of order $rs$…

A vertex coloring is called distinguishing if the identity is the only automorphism that can preserve it. The distinguishing threshold $\theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors $k$ required that any arbitrary $k$-coloring…

An edge colouring of a graph is called distinguishing if there is no non-trivial automorphism which preserves it. We prove that every at most countable, finite or infinite, connected regular graph of order at least $7$ admits a…

Let $\Gamma$ be an Abelian group and let $G$ be a simple graph. We say that $G$ is $\Gamma$-colorable if for some fixed orientation of $G$ and every edge labeling $\ell:E(G)\rightarrow \Gamma$, there exists a vertex coloring $c$ by the…

Let \pi(G) denote the set of prime divisors of the order of a finite group G. The prime graph of G is the graph with vertex set \pi(G) with edges {p,q} if and only if there exists an element of order pq in G. In this paper, we prove that a…

Let $\Gamma$ be an undirected and simple graph. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components each containing a cycle. If $\Gamma$ has a…

A graph $G$ is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there is a labeling of the vertices with $d$ labels so that only the trivial automorphism preserves the labels. The smallest such $d$ is the distinguishing number, Dist($G$). A subset of…

The prime graph, or Gruenberg--Kegel graph, of a finite group $G$ is the graph $\Gamma(G)$ whose vertices are the prime divisors of $|G|$, and whose edges are the pairs $\{p,q\}$ for which $G$ contains an element of order $pq$. A finite…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a {\it dominating set} of $G$ if every vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex of $S$. The {\it domination number} of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is the cardinality of a…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. A list assignment to $G$ is an assignment $L = \{L(v)\}_{v\in V…

A distinguishing colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertex set such that no non-trivial automorphism preserves the colouring. Tucker conjectured that if every non-trivial automorphism of a locally finite graph moves infinitely many…

An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…

Let $G$ be a group. The intersection graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two…

For a finite group $G$, denote by $\alpha(G)$ the minimum number of vertices of any graph $\Gamma$ having $\text{Aut}(\Gamma)\cong G$. In this paper, we prove that $\alpha(G)\leq |G|$, with specified exceptions. The exceptions include four…
