These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…
Let $G$ be a finite group, let $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and let $\Gamma(G)$ be the prime graph of $G$. This graph has vertex set $\pi(G)$, and two vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $G$ contains an…
Let E be a linear isometric representation of a group \Gamma. In this paper we construct and study a family of quasicocycles \Gamma -> E that arise from splittings \Gamma = A * B. Under certain assumptions on A, B and E the bounded…
The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, two distinct vertices joined if they commute. Our purpose in this paper is twofold: we discuss the computational problem of deciding whether a given…
A transitive permutation group is said to be semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is either semiregular or transitive.The class of semiprimitive groups properly contains primitive groups, quasiprimitive groups and innately…
Let $\Gamma$ be a simple finite graph with vertex set $V(\Gamma)$ and edge set $E(\Gamma)$. Let $\mathcal{R}$ be an equivalence relation on $V(\Gamma)$. The $\mathcal{R}$-super $\Gamma$ graph $\Gamma^{\mathcal{R}}$ is a simple graph with…
Two groups are virtually isomorphic if they can be obtained one from the other via a finite number of steps, where each step consists in taking a finite extension or a finite index subgroup (or viceversa). Virtually isomorphic groups are…
Let G be a locally compact group acting properly by type-preserving automorphisms on a locally finite thick Euclidean building $\Delta$ and K be the stabilizer of a special vertex in $\Delta$. It is known that (G, K) is a Gelfand pair as…
In this paper, we prove the existence of a particular diagonalization for normal bounded operators defined on subspaces of $L^2(\mathfrak{S})$ where $\mathfrak{S}$ is a second countable LCA group. The subspaces where the operators act are…
A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if it admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of arcs of $\Gamma$, where an arc is an ordered pair of adjacent vertices. Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph such that its…
A graph $\Gamma$ is called $(G, s)$-arc-transitive if $G \le \mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ is transitive on the set of vertices of $\Gamma$ and the set of $s$-arcs of $\Gamma$, where for an integer $s \ge 1$ an $s$-arc of $\Gamma$ is a sequence of…
Let $\Gamma$ denote the Hamming graph $H(D,r)$ with $r \geq 3$. Consider the distance matrices $\{A_i\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$, and consider the dual distance matrices $\{A_i^{*}\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$ with…
Let $G$ be a finite group. For a fixed element $g$ in $G$ and a given subgroup $H$ of $G$, the relative $g$-noncommuting graph of $G$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x \in…
We determine all factorisations $X=AB$, where $X$ is a finite almost simple group and $A,B$ are core-free subgroups such that $A\cap B$ is cyclic or dihedral. As a main application, we classify the graphs $\Gamma$ admitting an almost simple…
A quasi-semiregular element in a permutation group is an element that has a unique fixed point and acts semiregularly on the remaining points. Such elements were first studied in the context of automorphisms of graphs and occur naturally in…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of order $q=p^h$ with $p>2$ prime and $h>1$, and let $\mathbb{F}_{\bar{q}}$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{F}_q$. From any two $\bar{q}$-linearized polynomials $L_1,L_2 \in \overline{\mathbb{F}}_q[T]$ of…
Given a connected, locally finite, quasi-transitive graph $X$ which is quasi-isometric to a planar graph $\Gamma$, we remark that one can upgrade $\Gamma$ to be a planar Cayley graph, answering a question raised by Esperet--Giocanti and…
In this article we study the structure of $\Gamma$-invariant spaces of $L^2(\bf R)$. Here $\bf R$ is a second countable LCA group. The invariance is with respect to the action of $\Gamma$, a non commutative group in the form of a semidirect…
We show that for a large class of actions $\Gamma \curvearrowright \mathcal{A}$ of $C^*$-simple groups $\Gamma$ on unital $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$, including any non-faithful action of a hyperbolic group with trivial amenable radical,…
For a group $G$ and a subset $X$ of $G$, the commuting graph of $X$, denoted by $\Gamma(G,X)$ is the graph whose vertex set is $X$ and any two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $X$ are adjacent if and only if they commute in $G$. In this article,…
