In 2007, Banica and Bichon asked whether the well-known Petersen graph has quantum symmetry. In this article, we show that the Petersen graph has no quantum symmetry, i.e. the quantum automorphism group of the Petersen graph is its usual…

The study of graph C*-algebras has a long history in operator algebras. Surprisingly, their quantum symmetries have never been computed so far. We close this gap by proving that the quantum automorphism group of a finite, directed graph…

We introduce various notions of quantum symmetry in a directed or undirected multigraph with no isolated vertex and explore relations among them. If the multigraph is single edged (that is, a simple graph where loops are allowed), all our…

A celebrated theorem due to R. Frucht states that, roughly speaking, each group is isomorphic to the symmetry group of some graph. By "symmetry group" the group of all graph automorphisms is meant. We provide an analogue of this result for…

The symmetries of a finite graph are described by its automorphism group; in the setting of Woronowicz's quantum groups, a notion of a quantum automorphism group has been defined by Banica capturing the quantum symmetries of the graph. In…

We present an infinite sequence of finite graphs with trivial automorphism group and non-trivial quantum automorphism group. These are the first known examples of graphs with this property. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, these are…

We define a notion of quantum automorphism group of Graph C*-algebras for finite, connected graphs. Under the assumption that the underlying graph does not have any multiple edge or loop, the quantum automorphism group of underlying…

Recently, the work on quantum automorphism groups of graphs has seen renewed progress, which we expand in this paper. Quantum symmetry is a richer notion of symmetry than the classical symmetries of a graph. In general, it is non-trivial to…

We consider circulant graphs having $p$ vertices, with $p$ prime. To any such graph we associate a certain number $k$, that we call type of the graph. We prove that for $p>>k$ the graph has no quantum symmetry, in the sense that the quantum…

If a quantum walk starting on a vertex tends to stay at home, then that vertex is said to be sedentary. We prove that almost all planar graphs and almost all trees contain at least two sedentary vertices for any assignment of edge weights…

A graph $G$ is \textit{asymmetric} if its automorphism group of vertices is trivial. Asymmetric graphs were introduced by Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi in 1963. They showed that the probability of a graph on $n$ vertices being asymmetric tends to…

Quantum symmetry of a graph $C^{*}$-algebra $C^{*}(\Gamma)$ corresponding to a finite graph $\Gamma$ has been explored by several mathematicians within different categories in the past few years. In this article, we establish that there are…

We prove that given a fixed finite tree $P$, almost all trees contain $P$ as a subtree. Moreover, the inclusion can be made so that it induces an embedding of the corresponding (quantum) automorphism groups, thereby providing generic…

We prove that every 2-sphere graph different from a prism can be vertex 4-colored in such a way that all Kempe chains are forests. This implies the following three tree theorem: the arboricity of a discrete 2-sphere is 3. Moreover, the…

A recent result of Condon, Kim, K\"{u}hn and Osthus implies that for any $r\geq (\frac{1}{2}+o(1))n$, an $n$-vertex almost $r$-regular graph $G$ has an approximate decomposition into any collections of $n$-vertex bounded degree trees. In…

Complement-reducible graphs (or cographs) are the graphs formed from the single-vertex graph by the operations of complement and disjoint union. By combining the Johnson-Newman theorem on generalized cospectrality with the standard tools in…

We prove a number of results to the effect that generic quantum graphs (defined via operator systems as in the work of Duan-Severini-Winter / Weaver) have few symmetries: for a Zariski-dense open set of tuples $(X_1,\cdots,X_d)$ of…
