We prove that every oriented tree on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree appears as a spanning subdigraph of every directed graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $n/2+o(n)$. This can be seen as a directed graph…

It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spectrum of gauge charges. For compact, abelian gauge groups,…

In a digraph, a quasi-kernel is a subset of vertices that is independent and such that every vertex can reach some vertex in that set via a directed path of length at most two. Whereas Chv\'atal and Lov\'asz proved in 1974 that every…

Let $G$ be a simple finite graph, and let $\mathcal U_G$ be the related quantum graph. We study the game algebra $C(\mathrm{Qut}(\mathcal U_G))$ of quantum automorphism of $\mathcal U_G$. Moreover, we prove that for any graph $G$ with…

We prove quantum ergodicity and quantum mixing for sequences of finite Schreier graphs converging to an infinite Cayley graph whose adjacency operator has absolutely continuous spectrum. Under Benjamini-Schramm convergence (or strong…

The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that for every forest $H$ and every integer $k$, if $G$ is $H$-free and does not contain a clique on $k$ vertices then it has bounded chromatic number. (A graph is $H$-free if it does not contain an…

In this article, following [A.~Daneshgar, M.~Hejrati, M.~Madani, {\it On cylindrical graph construction and its applications}, EJC, 23(1) p1.29, 45, 2016] we study the spectra of symmetric cylindrical constructs, generalizing some…

Kirchoff's matrix tree theorem of 1847 connects the number of spanning trees of a graph to the spectral determinant of the discrete Laplacian [22]. Recently an analogue was obtained for quantum graphs relating the number of spanning trees…

We show that any two Hadamard graphs on the same number of vertices are quantum isomorphic. This follows from a more general recipe for showing quantum isomorphism of graphs arising from certain association schemes. The main result is built…

A graph $G$ is asymmetric if its automorphism group of vertices is trivial. Asymmetric graphs were introduced by Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi in 1963 where they measured the degree of asymmetry of an asymmetric graph. They proved that any…

The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is is the graph whose vertices are independent subsets of the path graph of length $n$, where two such vertices are considered adjacent if they differ by the addition or removal of a single element. Klav\v{z}ar…

Graph states provide a powerful framework for describing multipartite entanglement in quantum information science. In their standard formulation, graph states are generated by controlled-$Z$ interactions and naturally encode symmetric…

Gomory and Hu proved that if $ G $ is a finite graph with non-negative weights on its edges, then there exists a tree $ T $ (called now Gomory-Hu tree) on $ V(G) $ such that for all $ u\neq v\in V(G) $ there is an $ e\in E(T) $ such that…
