We show that an infinite finitely generated group G is virtually-Z if and only if every Cayley graph of G contains only finitely many Busemann points in its horofunction boundary. This complements a previous result of the second named…

In geometric group theory one uses group actions on spaces to gain information about groups. One natural space to use is the Cayley graph of a group. The Cayley graph arguments that one encounters tend to require local finiteness, and hence…

A diagonal base of a Sylow 2-subgroup $P_n(2)$ of symmetric group $S_{2^n}$ is a minimal generating set of this subgroup consisting of elements with only one non-zero coordinate in the polynomial representation. For different diagonal bases…

We prove that the palindromic width of HNN extension of a group by proper associated subgroups is infinite. We also prove that the palindromic width of the amalgamated free product of two groups via a proper subgroup is infinite (except…

In this note we show that there is a cubic graph of girth $5$ that is not a subgraph of any minimal Cayley graph. On the other hand, we show that any Generalized Petersen Graph $G(n,k)$ with $\gcd(n,k)=1$ is an induced subgraph of a minimal…

We prove that, to every abstract group $G$, we can associate a sequence of graphs $\Gamma_n$ such that the automorphism group of $\Gamma_n$ is isomorphic to $G$ and the genus of $\Gamma_n$ is an unbounded function of $n$.

A directed diameter of a directed graph is the maximum possible distance between a pair of vertices, where paths must respect edge orientations, while undirected diameter is the diameter of the undirected graph obtained by symmetrizing the…

Given a graph $X$ with a Hamilton cycle $C$, the {\em compression factor $\kappa(X,C)$ of $C$} is the order of the largest cyclic subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}(C)\cap\operatorname{Aut}(X)$, and the {\em Hamilton compression $\kappa(X)$ of…

A well-known conjecture of Alspach says that every $2k$-regular Cayley graph of an abelian group can be decomposed into Hamiltonian cycles. We consider an analogous question for infinite abelian groups. In this setting one natural analogue…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $S\subseteq G\setminus\{1\}$ be a set such that if $a\in S$, then $a^{-1}\in S$, where $1$ denotes the identity element of $G$. The undirected Cayley graph $Cay(G,S)$ of $G$ over the set $S$ is the graph whose…

Consider the random Cayley graph of a finite group $G$ with respect to $k$ generators chosen uniformly at random, with $1 \ll k \lesssim \log |G|$. The results of this article supplement those in the three main papers on random Cayley…

Autostackability for finitely generated groups is defined via a topological property of the associated Cayley graph which can be encoded in a finite state automaton. Autostackable groups have solvable word problem and an effective inductive…

In this paper, we study the integral Cayley graphs over a non-abelian group $U_{6n}=\langle a,b\mid a^{2n}=b^3=1, a^{-1}ba=b^{-1}\rangle$ of order $6n$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the integrality of Cayley graphs over…

It is shown that there are infinitely many connected vertex-transitive graphs that have no Hamilton decomposition, including infinitely many Cayley graphs of valency 6, and including Cayley graphs of arbitrarily large valency.
