We study the spectra of cyclic signatures of finite graphs and the corresponding cyclic lifts. Starting from a bipartite Ramanujan graph, we prove the existence of an infinite tower of $3$-cyclic lifts, each of which is again Ramanujan.

Given a locally finite simple graph so that its degree is not bounded, every self-adjoint realization of the adjacency matrix is unbounded from above. In this note we give an optimal condition to ensure it is also unbounded from below. We…

We give a sharp bound on the number of automorphisms of a stable curve of a given genus and describe all curves attaining this bound.

We classify the connected graphs with precisely three distinct eigenvalues and second largest eigenvalue at most 1.

We improve upon the upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a multivariable polynomial map over a finite field using the polytope of the polynomial. This generalizes earlier bounds only dependent on the degree of a polynomial.

The graph partition problem is the problem of partitioning the vertex set of a graph into a fixed number of sets of given sizes such that the sum of weights of edges joining different sets is optimized. In this paper we simplify a known…

We establish new bounds on the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues among real symmetric matrices with nonzero off-diagonal pattern described by the edges of a graph and apply these to determine the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues…

We show that the abelian girth of a graph is at least three times its girth. We prove an analogue of the Moore bound for the abelian girth of regular graphs, where the degree of the graph is fixed and the number of vertices is large. We…

We prove that the maximum eigenvalue of the (both signed and unsigned) Laplacian of level $k$ Kikuchi graph of any graph $G$ with $m$ edges is at most $m+k$. This confirms four recent conjectures of Apte, Parekh, and Sud. As applications,…

This article provides sharp bounds for the maximum number of edges possible in a simple graph with restricted values of two of the three parameters, namely, maxi- mum matching size, independence number and maximum degree. We also construct…

We deal with connected $k$-regular multigraphs of order $n$ that has only three distinct eigenvalues. In this paper, we study the largest possible number of vertices of such a graph for given $k$. For $k=2,3,7$, the Moore graphs are…

We generalize the concept of token graphs to obtain supertoken graphs. In the latter case, there can be more than one token in a vertex. We formally define supertoken graphs and establish their basic properties. Moreover, we provide some…

A signed graph $\Sigma = (G, \sigma)$ is a graph where the function $\sigma$ assigns either $1$ or $-1$ to each edge of the simple graph $G$. The adjacency matrix of $\Sigma$, denoted by $A(\Sigma)$, is defined canonically. In a recent…

Rigid graphs have only finitely many realizations. In the recent years significant progress was made in computing the number of such realizations. With this progress it was also possible for the first time to do computations on large sets…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n \ge 3$ vertices, whose adjacency matrix has eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \lambda_2 \ge \dots \ge \lambda_n$. The problem of bounding $\lambda_k$ in terms of $n$ was first proposed by Hong and was studied by Nikiforov,…

In 2011, Henning, L\"{o}wenstein, and Rautenbach observed that the domination number of a graph is bounded from above by the product of the packing number and the maximum degree of the graph. We prove a stronger statement in subcubic…

The second-largest eigenvalue and second-smallest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph are measures of its connectivity. These eigenvalues can be used to analyze the robustness, resilience, and synchronizability of networks, and are related to…

In this short note we show that every connected $2$-edge coloured cubic graph admits an $10$-colouring. This lowers the best known upper bound for the chromatic number of connected $2$-edge coloured cubic graphs.

We consider the problem of determining the inducibility (maximum possible asymptotic density of induced copies) of oriented graphs on four vertices. We provide exact values for more than half of the graphs, and very close lower and upper…

We give inequalities relating the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of a graph, and its minimum and maximum degrees. The results are applied to derive new conditions for quasi-randomness of graphs.
