Let G be a finitely presented group, and G' its commutator subgroup. Let C be the Cayley graph of G' with all commutators in G as generators. Then C is large scale simply connected. Furthermore, if G is a torsion-free nonelementary…

A group $G$ splits over a subgroup $C$ if $G$ is either a free product with amalgamation $A \underset{C}{\ast} B$ or an HNN-extension $G=A \underset{C}{\ast} (t)$. We invoke Bass-Serre theory and classify all infinite groups which admit…

A connected graph is called \emph{geodetic} if there is a unique geodesic between each pair of vertices. In this paper we prove that if a finitely generated group admits a Cayley graph which is geodetic, then the group must be virtually…

We prove that asymptotically almost surely, the random Cayley sum graph over a finite abelian group $G$ has edge density close to the expected one on every induced subgraph of size at least $\log^c |G|$, for any fixed $c > 1$ and $|G|$…

We consider quasirandom properties for Cayley graphs of finite abelian groups. We show that having uniform edge-distribution (i.e., small discrepancy) and having large eigenvalue gap are equivalent properties for such Cayley graphs, even if…

We give a unified approach to analysing, for each positive integer $s$, a class of finite connected graphs that contains all the distance transitive graphs as well as the locally $s$-arc transitive graphs of diameter at least $s$. A graph…

Motivated by the Cauchy-Davenport theorem for sumsets, and its interpretation in terms of Cayley graphs, we prove the following main result : There is a universal constant e > 0 such that, if G is a connected, regular graph on n vertices,…

In this paper, we consider a relation between $k$-way expansion constant of a finite graph and the expansion constants of subgraphs in a $k$-partition of the graph. Using this relation, we show that a sequence of finite graphs which have…

An interesting fact is that most of the known connected $2$-arc-transitive nonnormal Cayley graphs of small valency on finite simple groups are $(\mathrm{A}_{n+1},2)$-arc-transitive Cayley graphs on $\mathrm{A}_n$. This motivates the study…

We prove that the set of possible values for the percolation threshold $p_c$ of Cayley graphs has a gap at 1 in the sense that there exists $\varepsilon_0>0$ such that for every Cayley graph $G$ one either has $p_c(G)=1$ or $p_c(G) \leq…

Let $G$ be an abelian group. The main theorem of this paper asserts that there exists a Cayley graph on $G$ with chromatic number $3$ if and only if $G$ is not of exponent $1$, $2$, or $4$. For connected Cayley graphs, we also show that…

A connected, locally finite graph $\Gamma$ is a Cayley--Abels graph for a totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ if $G$ acts vertex-transitively with compact, open vertex stabilizers on $\Gamma$. Define the minimal degree of $G$ as…

An $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a $C$-expander if $|N(X)|\geq C|X|$ for every $X\subseteq V(G)$ with $|X|< n/2C$ and there is an edge between every two disjoint sets of at least $n/2C$ vertices. We show that there is some constant $C>0$ for…

Graphs defined over a finite ring are well-studied in the literature. Due to their nature, these types of graphs connect several branches of mathematics, including algebra, number theory, matrix theory, and representation theory. In recent…

A graph $\G$ with a group $H$ of automorphisms acting semiregularly on the vertices with two orbits is called a {\em bi-Cayley graph} over $H$. When $H$ is a normal subgroup of $\Aut(\G)$, we say that $\G$ is {\em normal} with respect to…

The Cayley sum graph $\Gamma_A$ of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_n$ is defined to have vertex set $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and an edge between two distinct vertices $x, y \in \mathbb{Z}_n$ if $x + y \in A$. Green and Morris proved that if the set $A$…

For a finite group $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ denote the maximum diameter of a connected Cayley graph of $G$. A well-known conjecture of Babai states that $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ is bounded by ${(\log_{2} |G|)}^{O(1)}$ in case $G$ is a…
