The fixing number of a graph $G$ is the smallest cardinality of a set of vertices $F\subseteq V(G)$ such that only the trivial automorphism of $G$ fixes every vertex in $F$. Let $\Pi$ $=$ $\{F_1,F_2,\ldots,F_k\}$ be an ordered $k$-partition…
We relativise the Thomassen--Woess definition of accessibility in graphs, defining what it means for a graph to be accessible relative to a peripheral system. In the case of locally finite, quasi-transitive graphs, we characterise relative…
A transitive permutation group is called elusive if it contains no semiregular element. We show that no group of automorphisms of a connected graph of valency at most four is elusive and determine all the elusive groups of automorphisms of…
Strongly regular graphs are regular graphs with a constant number of common neighbours between adjacent vertices, and a constant number of common neighbours between non-adjacent vertices. These graphs have been of great interest over the…
In this note, we study non-transitive graphs and prove a number of results when they satisfy a coarse version of transitivity. Also, for each finitely generated group $G$, we produce continuum many pairwise non-quasi-isometric regular…
We start up the study of the stability of general graph pairs. This notion is a generalization of the concept of the stability of graphs. We say that a pair of graphs $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ is stable if $Aut(\Gamma\times\Sigma) \cong…
A permutation graph is a graph that can be derived from a permutation, where the vertices correspond to letters of the permutation, and the edges represent inversions. We provide a construction to show that there are infinitely many…
Let $\Gamma$ be a simple undirected graph on a finite vertex set and let $A$ be its adjacency matrix. Then $\Gamma$ is {\it singular} if $A$ is singular. The problem of characterising singular graphs is easy to state but very difficult to…
The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the non-central elements of $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. It is conjectured by Jafarzadeh and Iranmanesh that…
A pair of graphs $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ is called unstable if their direct product $\Gamma\times\Sigma$ admits automorphisms not from $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)\times\mathrm{Aut}(\Sigma)$, and such automorphisms are said to be unexpected. The…
The power graph of a group is the graph whose vertex set is the set of nontrivial elements of group, two elements being adjacent if one is a power of the other. We introduce some way for find the automorphism groups of some graphs. As an…
Flip graphs are graphs on combinatorial objects in which the adjacency relation reflects a local change in the underlying objects. In this thesis we introduce Yoke graphs, a family of flip graphs that generalizes previously studied families…
We study a special class of graphs with a strong transience feature called uniform transience. We characterize uniform transience via a Feller-type property and via validity of an isoperimetric inequality. We then give a further…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite $G$-vertex-transitive digraph. The in-local action of $(\Gamma,G)$ is the permutation group $L_-$ induced by the vertex-stabiliser on the set of in-neighbours of $v$. The out-local action $L_+$ is defined…
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…
A graph Gamma is said to be 2-arc-transitive if its full automorphism group Aut(\Gamma) has a single orbit on ordered paths of length 2, and for G\leq Aut(\Gamma), \Gamma is G-regular if G is regular on the vertex set of \Gamma. Let G be a…
We study groups acting vertex-transitively on connected, trivalent graphs such that stabilizers of vertices are infinite. If the action is edge-transitive, we prove that the graph has to be a tree. We analyze the case where the action is…
A subgroup of the automorphism group of a graph acts {\em half-arc-transitively} on the graph if it acts transitively on the vertex-set and on the edge-set of the graph but not on the arc-set of the graph. If the full automorphism group of…
For a transitive infinite connected graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ be its connective constant. Denote by $\mathbf{\cal G}$ the set of Cayley graphs for finitely generated infinite groups with an infinite-order generator which is independent of…
A set of vertices of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves it is the identity. The minimal size of such sets, if they exist, is the distinguishing cost. The distinguishing costs of vertex transitive cubic graphs…
