A Cayley graph for a group $G$ is CCA if every automorphism of the graph that preserves the edge-orbits under the regular representation of $G$ is an element of the normaliser of $G$. A group $G$ is then said to be CCA if every connected…

It was proved in [Y.-Q. Feng, C. H. Li and J.-X. Zhou, Symmetric cubic graphs with solvable automorphism groups, {\em European J. Combin.} {\bf 45} (2015), 1-11] that a cubic symmetric graph with a solvable automorphism group is either a…

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of normal Cayley graphs, which are $2$-distance-transitive but neither distance-transitive nor $2$-arc-transitive. This answers a question raised by Chen, Jin and Li in 2019 and corrects a…

Extending earlier results of Godsil and of Dobson and Malnic on Johnson graphs, we characterise those merged Johnson graphs $J=J(n,k)_I$ which are Cayley graphs, that is, which are connected and have a group of automorphisms acting…

A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group H if it admits H as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. A non-abelian group is called an inner-abelian group if all of its proper subgroups are…

This paper deals with the Cayley graph $\Cay,$ where the generating set consists of all block transpositions. A motivation for the study of these particular Cayley graphs comes from current research in Bioinformatics. We prove that…

Let $G$ be a generalized dicyclic group with identity $1$. An inverse closed subset $S$ of $G\setminus\{1\}$ is called minimal if $\langle S\rangle=G$ and there exists some $s\in S$ such that $\langle S\setminus\{s,s^{-1}\} \rangle\neq G$.…

Let $\Gamma_G$ denote a graph associated with a group $G$. A compelling question about finite groups asks whether or not a finite group $H$ must be nilpotent provided $\Gamma_H$ is isomorphic to $\Gamma_G$ for a finite nilpotent group $G$.…

The standard double cover of a graph $\Gamma$ is the direct product $\Gamma\times K_2$. A graph $\Gamma$ is said to be stable if all the automorphisms of $\Gamma\times K_2$ come from its factors. Although the study of stability has…

We study the automorphisms of a Cayley graph that preserve its natural edge-colouring. More precisely, we are interested in groups G, such that every such automorphism of every connected Cayley graph on G has a very simple form: the…

Let $G$ be a finite, non-abelian group of the form $G = A N$, where $A \leq G$ is abelian, and $N \trianglelefteq G$ is cyclic. We prove that the commuting graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is either a connected graph of diameter at most four, or…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic, non-characteristically simple group with the property that all proper characteristic subgroups of $G$ are cyclic. We call such a group $\mathrm{CCS}$ group, short for \emph{Characteristic Cyclic}. In this…

A Cayley Graph for a group $G$ is called normal edge-transitive if it admits an edge-transitive action of some subgroup of the Holomorph of $G$ (the normaliser of a regular copy of $G$ in $\operatorname{Sym}(G)$). We complete the…

A sequence $D=(d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_n)$ of non-negative integers is called a graphic sequence if there is a simple graph with vertices $v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n$ such that the degree of $v_i$ is $d_i$ for $1\leq i\leq n$. Given a graph theoretical…

A regular cover of a connected graph is called {\em cyclic} or {\em dihedral} if its transformation group is cyclic or dihedral respectively, and {\em arc-transitive} (or {\em symmetric}) if the fibre-preserving automorphism subgroup acts…

The majority of graphs whose sandpile groups are known are either regular or simple. We give an explicit formula for a family of non-regular multi-graphs called thick cycles. A thick cycle graph is a cycle where multi-edges are permitted.…

For $n\in \mathbb{N}$, a group is called $n$-coherent if every subgroup of type $\mathsf{F}_n$ is of type $\mathsf{F}_{n+1}$. For $n\ge 1$, we observe that graphs of groups with $n$-coherent vertex groups and virtually poly-cyclic edge…

We introduce shortcut graphs and groups. Shortcut graphs are graphs in which cycles cannot embed without metric distortion. Shortcut groups are groups which act properly and cocompactly on shortcut graphs. These notions unify a surprisingly…

A graph is called an integral graph when all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix are integers. We study which Cayley graphs over a nonabelian group $$ T_{8n}=\left\langle a,b\mid a^{2n}=b^8=e,a^n=b^4,b^{-1}ab=a^{-1} \right \rangle $$ are…
