It is shown that a flat subgroup, $H$, of the totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ decomposes into a finite number of subsemigroups on which the scale function is multiplicative. The image, $P$, of a multiplicative semigroup in…
These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…
Let $S$ be a set of transpositions that generates the symmetric group $S_n$, where $n \ge 3$. The transposition graph $T(S)$ is defined to be the graph with vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and with vertices $i$ and $j$ being adjacent in $T(S)$…
Let $G$ be a finite group. For each $m>1$ we define the symmetric canonical subset $S=S(m)$ of the Cartesian power $G^m$ and we consider the family of Cayley graphs $\mathscr{G}_m(G)=Cay(G^m,S)$. We describe properties of these graphs and…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $S$ be a subset of $G.$ A bi-Cayley graph $\BCay(G,S)$ is a simple and an undirected graph with vertex-set $G\times\{1,2\}$ and edge-set $\{\{(g,1),(sg,2)\}\mid g\in G, s\in S\}$. A bi-Cayley graph $\BCay(G,S)$…
Let $G$ be a group and $S$ an inverse closed subset of $G\setminus \{1\}$. By a Cayley graph $Cay(G,S)$ we mean the graph whose vertex set is the set of elements of $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x^{-1}y\in S$. A group…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group written additively with identity $0$, and $\Omega$ be an inverse closed generating subset of $G$ such that $0\notin \Omega$. We say that $ \Omega $ has the property \lq\lq{}$us$\rq\rq{} (unique summation),…
A group $G$ is complete group if it satisfies $Z(G)=e$ and $Aut(G)=Inn(G)$. In this paper, on the one hand, we study the basic properties of generalized Cayley graphs and characterize two classes isomorphic generalized generalized Cayley…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $S$ be an inverse-closed subset of $G$ not containing the identity. The Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(G,S)$ has vertex set $G$, where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x^{-1}y \in S$.…
A Cayley (di)graph $\Cay(G,S)$ of a finite group $G$ is called CI if, for every Cayley (di)graph $\Cay(G,T)$ of $G$, $\Cay(G,S)\cong \Cay(G,T)$ implies that $S^{\sigma}=T$ for some $\sigma\in \Aut(G)$. The group $G$ is called an NDCI-group…
We analyse the normal quotient structure of several infinite families of finite connected edge-transitive, four-valent oriented graphs. These families were singled out by Marusic and others to illustrate various different internal…
A graph is edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the edge set. In this paper, we investigate the automorphism groups of edge-transitive graphs of odd order and twice prime valency. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected graph…
Relying on the Classification of Finite Simple Groups it was shown by Feng and Xu (Discrete Math., 2005) that every quartic Cayley graph of a regular $p$-group, $p \neq 2,5$, is normal. In this paper a CFSG-free proof of Feng-Xu theorem is…
Let $X = (V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $C \subseteq V(X)$ is a \emph{perfect code} of $X$ if $C$ is a coclique of $X$ with the property that any vertex in $V(X)\setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. Given a finite group $G$…
Let $G$ be a finite group, $S\subseteq G\setminus\{1\}$ be a set such that if $a\in S$, then $a^{-1}\in S$, where $1$ denotes the identity element of $G$. The undirected Cayley graph $Cay(G,S)$ of $G$ over the set $S$ is the graph whose…
A Frobenius group is a transitive permutation group which is not regular but only the identity element can fix two points. Such a group can be expressed as the semi-direct product $G = K \rtimes H$ of a nilpotent normal subgroup $K$ and…
A Cayley digraph $\Gamma$ over a finite group $G$ is said to be CI if for every Cayley digraph $\Gamma^\prime$ over $G$ isomorphic to $\Gamma$, there is an isomorphism from $\Gamma$ to $\Gamma^\prime$ which is at the same time an…
We classify all the $2$-arc-transitive strongly regular graphs, and use this classification to study the family of finite $(G,3)$-geodesic-transitive graphs of girth $4$ or $5$ for some group $G$ of automorphisms. For this application we…
The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of an infinite transitive graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks from a given origin. In earlier work of Grimmett and Li, a locality theorem was proved for connective…
In this paper, we study arc-transitive Cayley graphs on non-abelian simple groups with soluble stabilizers and valency seven. Let $\Ga$ be such a Cayley graph on a non-abelian simple group $T$. It is proved that either $\Ga$ is a normal…
