Let $G$ be 2-generated group. The generating graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and where two vertices $g$ and $h$ are adjacent if $G = \langle g, h \rangle.$ This definition can be extended to a…

A Cayley digraph on a group $G$ is called NNN if the Cayley digraph is normal and its automorphism group contains a non-normal regular subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A group is called NNND-group or NNN-group if there is an NNN Cayley digraph…

For a finite group $G$ and for a fixed positive integer $k$, $k\geq 2$, the $k$-power graph of $G$ is an undirected simple graph with vertex set $G$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x^k=y$ or $y^k=x$.…

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…

We show that a right-angled Artin group, defined by a graph $\Gamma$ that has at least three vertices, does not split over an infinite cyclic subgroup if and only if $\Gamma$ is biconnected. Further, we compute JSJ--decompositions of…

A Group Labeled Graph is a pair $(G,\Lambda)$ where $G$ is an oriented graph and $\Lambda$ is a mapping from the arcs of $G$ to elements of a group. A (not necessarily directed) cycle $C$ is called non-null if for any cyclic ordering of the…

A finite simple graph $\Gamma$ is called a Nest graph if it is regular of valency $6$ and admits an automorphism $\rho$ with two orbits of the same length such that at least one of the subgraphs induced by these orbits is a cycle. We say…

The triangle graph of a graph $G$, denoted by ${\cal T}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices represent the triangles ($K_3$ subgraphs) of $G$, and two vertices of ${\cal T}(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding triangles share an…

The nilpotent graph of a group $G$ is the simple and undirected graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they generate a nilpotent subgroup of $G$. Here we discuss some topological properties of…

We prove that for every closed, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold, there exists an alternating group A_n which is not the topological symmetry group of any graph embedded in the manifold. We also show that for every finite group…

We classify all finite 2-groups that have a cyclic or dihedral maximal subgroup and determine their automorphism groups. Based on this result, we classify all pairs $ (G,\mathcal{M}) $, such that $ G $ is a finite 2-group and $ \mathcal{M}…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ be its adjacency matrix. A graph $G$ is invertible if its adjacency matrix $A$ is invertible and the inverse of $G$ is a weighted graph with adjacency matrix $A^{-1}$. A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a weighted…

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…

The power graph of an arbitrary group $G$ is a simple graph with all elements of $G$ as its vertices and two vertices are adjacent if one is a positive power of another. In this paper, we generalize this concept to a graph whose vertices…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ denote the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. Define then the character degree graph $\Delta(G)$ as the (simple undirected) graph whose vertices are the prime…

Let $G$ be a graph of girth $g$ and circumference $c.$ A vertex $v$ of $G$ is called weakly pancyclic if $v$ lies on an $\ell$-cycle for every integer $\ell$ with $g\le \ell\le c.$ We prove that if $G$ is a nonbipartite graph of order $n\ge…

We complement the characterization of the graph products of cyclic groups $G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p})$ admitting a Polish group topology of [9] with the following result. Let $G = G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p})$, then the following are equivalent:…

A Cayley graph on a group $G$ has a natural edge-colouring. We say that such a graph is CCA if every automorphism of the graph that preserves this edge-colouring is an element of the normaliser of the regular representation of $G$. A group…

Let $G$ be a finite group, define $I(G)=\{x\in G : x^{2}=1\}$, $C(G)=$ set of the cyclic subgroups of $G$, $i(G)=|I(G)|$ and $c(G)=|C(G)|$. In this article, we will classify finite groups with $i(G)=c(G)-r$ for $r=0,1,$ and $2$. We also…

In this paper, we initiate the study of spectrum of the commuting graphs of finite non-abelian groups. We first compute the spectrum of this graph for several classes of finite groups, in particular AC-groups. We show that the commuting…
