For a graph $\Gamma=(V(\Gamma),E(\Gamma))$, a subset $C$ of $V(\Gamma)$ is called an $(\alpha,\beta)$-regular set in $\Gamma$, if every vertex of $C$ is adjacent to exactly $\alpha$ vertices of $C$ and every vertex of $V(\Gamma)\setminus C$…

If $K$ is a field with involution and $E$ an arbitrary graph, the involution from $K$ naturally induces an involution of the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E).$ We show that the involution on $L_K(E)$ is proper if the involution on $K$ is…

Solving a longstanding problem on equiangular lines, we determine, for each given fixed angle and in all sufficiently large dimensions, the maximum number of lines pairwise separated by the given angle. Fix $0 < \alpha < 1$. Let…

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,…

Given a finite vector space $V=\mathbb{F}_q^n$, the $q$-analogue of a graph, called a $q$-graph, is a pair $\Gamma=(\mathcal{V},\mathcal{E})$, where $\mathcal{V}$ is the set of $1$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ and $\mathcal{E}$ is a subset…

A vertex with neighbours of degrees $d_1 \geq ... \geq d_r$ has {\em vertex type} $(d_1, ..., d_r)$. A graph is {\em vertex-oblique} if each vertex has a distinct vertex-type. While no graph can have distinct degrees, Schreyer, Walther and…

We study the curvature-dimension inequality in regular graphs. We develop techniques for calculating the curvature of such graphs, and we give characterizations of classes of graphs with positive, zero, and negative curvature. Our main…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, let $q(A)$ be the number of distinct eigenvalues of $A$. If $G$ is a connected graph on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A=[a_{ij}]$ such that for…

In 1988, Duval introduced the concept of directed strongly regular graphs, which can be viewed as a directed graph version of strongly regular graphs. Such directed graphs have similar structural and algebraic properties to strongly regular…

For every algebraically closed field $\boldsymbol k$ of characteristic different from $2$, we prove the following: (1) Generic finite dimensional (not necessarily associative) $\boldsymbol k$-algebras of a fixed dimension, considered up to…

A vertex $v \in V(G)$ is called $\lambda$-main if it belongs to a star set $X \subset V(G)$ of the eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a graph $G$ and this eigenvalue is main for the graph obtained from $G$ by deleting all the vertices in $X \setminus…

An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…

We study the Dirichlet problem for a graph $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with normalized constant mean curvature $H>0$ and planar boundary $\Gamma=\partial \Omega$. Our main result is that the optimal solvability condition, namely that the…

Let $d\geq 3$ be a fixed integer and $A$ be the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed or undirected graph on $n$ vertices. We show there exist constants $\mathfrak d>0$, \begin{align*} {\mathbb P}(\text{$A$ is singular in…

A hypergraph is linear if each pair of distinct vertices appears in at most one common edge. We say $\varGamma=(V,E)$ is an associated graph of a linear hypergraph $\mathcal{H}=(V, X)$ if for any $x\in X$, the induced subgraph…

The undirected degree/diameter and degree/girth problems and their directed analogues have been studied for many decades in the search for efficient network topologies. Recently such questions have received much attention in the setting of…

The geometric thickness of a graph G is the minimum integer k such that there is a straight line drawing of G with its edge set partitioned into k plane subgraphs. Eppstein [Separating thickness from geometric thickness. In: Towards a…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

We revisit the problem of designing sublinear algorithms for estimating the average degree of an $n$-vertex graph. The standard access model for graphs allows for the following queries: sampling a uniform random vertex, the degree of a…

A connected graph can be associated with two distinct evolution algebras. In the first case, the structural matrix is the adjacency matrix of the graph itself. In the second case, the structural matrix is the transition probabilities matrix…
