We consider a class of graphs subject to certain restrictions, including the finiteness of diameters. Any surjective mapping $\phi:\Gamma\to\Gamma'$ between graphs from this class is shown to be an isomorphism provided that the following…

The Gruenberg--Kegel graph (or the prime graph) $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is defined as follows. The vertex set of $\Gamma(G)$ is the set of all prime divisors of the order of $G$. Two distinct primes $r$ and $s$ regarded as…

A graph $\Gamma$ is called $G$-symmetric if it admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices. We give a classification of $G$-symmetric graphs $\Gamma$ with $V(\Gamma)$ admitting…

We classify all the $2$-arc-transitive strongly regular graphs, and use this classification to study the family of finite $(G,3)$-geodesic-transitive graphs of girth $4$ or $5$ for some group $G$ of automorphisms. For this application we…

For a graph $\Gamma$ and group $G$, $G^\Gamma$ is the subgroup of $G^{|\Gamma|}$ generated by elements with $g$ in the coordinates corresponding to $v$ and its neighbors in $\Gamma$. There is a natural epimorphism $G^\Gamma \to…

A resolving set for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The metric dimension of $\Gamma$ is the smallest size of…

We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…

Let $V$ be a two-dimensional vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. We show there is a canonical surjection $\nu$ from the set of suitably generic commutative algebra structures on $V$ modulo the action of…

Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a graph. The square graph $\Gamma^2$ of the graph $\Gamma$ is the graph with the vertex set $V(\Gamma^2)=V$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in $\Gamma$ is at most two. The square graph…

In this note, we define a new graph $\Gamma_d(G)$ on a finite group $G$, where $d$ is a divisor of $|G|$. The vertices of $\Gamma_d(G)$ are the subgroups of $G$ of order $d$ and two subgroups $H_1$ and $H_2$ of $G$ are said to be adjacent…

For a non-complete graph $\Gamma$, a vertex triple $(u,v,w)$ with $v$ adjacent to both $u$ and $w$ is called a $2$-geodesic if $u\neq w$ and $u,w$ are not adjacent. Then $\Gamma$ is said to be $2$-geodesic transitive if its automorphism…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion-free hyperbolic group. We study $\Gamma$--limit groups which, unlike the fundamental case in which $\Gamma$ is free, may not be finitely presentable or geometrically tractable. We define model $\Gamma$--limit…

We investigate families of two-dimensional simplicial complexes defined in terms of vertex decompositions. They include nonevasive complexes, strongly collapsible complexes of Barmak and Miniam and analogues of 2-trees of Harary and Palmer.…

A $k$-regular graph on $v$ vertices is a {\em divisible design graph} if there exist integers $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,m,n$ such that the vertex set can be partitioned into $m$ classes of size $n$ and any two different vertices from the same…

Let $\Gamma=(X,\mathcal{R})$ denote a finite, simple, connected, and undirected non-bipartite graph with vertex set $X$ and edge set $\mathcal{R}$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$, and define $\mathcal{R}_f = \mathcal{R} \setminus \{yz \mid…

Let \( G \) be a finite non-cyclic group. Define \( \mathrm{Cyc}(G) \) as the set of all elements \( a \in G \) such that for any $b\in G$, the subgroup \( \langle a, b \rangle \) is cyclic. The \emph{non-cyclic graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of \( G…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $n\geq2$ a positive integer, $\mathbb{V}_0$ a $n$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $\mathbb{T}_0$ the set of all linear functionals from $\mathbb{V}_0$ to…

If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of order $rs$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a quiver on n vertices $v_1, v_2, ..., v_n$ with $g_{ij}$ edges between $v_i$ and $v_j$, and let $\alpha \in \N^n$. Hua gave a formula for $A_{\Gamma}(\alpha, q)$, the number of isomorphism classes of absolutely…
