In this short note we prove that a graph product $G_\Gamma$ of finitely generated abelian groups is semicomplete -- that is the kernel of the natural homomorphism ${\rm Aut}(G_\Gamma)\to{\rm Aut}(G_\Gamma^{ab})$ induced by the…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, undirected, connected graph, with vertex set $X$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$. Associated with $x$ is a certain subalgebra $T=T(x)$ of ${\rm Mat}_X(\mathbb C)$, called the subconstituent algebra. The algebra $T$ is…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. The matrix $S(G) = J -I -2A(G)$ is called the Seidel matrix of $G$, where $I$ is an identity matrix and $J$ is a square matrix all of whose entries are equal to 1.…

Any directed graph G with N vertices and J edges has an associated line-graph L(G) where the J edges form the vertices of L(G). We show that the non-zero eigenvalues of the adjacency matrices are the same for all graphs of such a family…

A nonpolycyclic nilpotent-by-cyclic group Gamma can be expressed as the HNN extension of a finitely-generated nilpotent group N. The first main result is that quasi-isometric nilpotent-by-cyclic groups are HNN extensions of quasi-isometric…

Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes groups and commutative Moufang loops. A half-isomorphism $f : G \longrightarrow K$ between multiplicative systems $G$ and $K$ is a…

The representation complexity of a bipartite graph $G=(P,Q)$ is the minimum size $\sum_{i=1}^s (|A_i|+|B_i|)$ over all possible ways to write $G$ as a (not necessarily disjoint) union of complete bipartite subgraphs $G=\cup_{i=1}^s…

Given a class $\mathfrak F$ of finite groups, we consider the graph $\widetilde\Gamma_{\mathfrak F}(G)$ whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and where two vertices $g,h\in G$ are adjacent if and only if $\langle g,h\rangle\notin\mathfrak…

We classify trivalent vertex-transitive graphs whose edge sets have a partition into a 2-factor composed of two cycles and a 1-factor that is invariant under the action of the automorphism group.

In this paper, we prove that the maximal order of a semiregular element in the automorphism group of a cubic vertex-transitive graph X does not tend to infinity as the number of vertices of X tends to infinity. This gives a solution (in the…

Sabidussi's theorem [Duke Math. J. 28, 1961] gives necessary and sufficient conditions under which the automorphism group of a lexicographic product of two graphs is a wreath product of the respective automorphism groups. We prove a quantum…

We introduce the notion of self-similarity for compact quantum groups. For a finite set $X$, we introduce a $C^*$-algebra $\mathbb{A}_X$, which is the quantum automorphism group of the infinite homogeneous rooted tree $X^*$. Self-similar…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph with vertex set $V$. We suppose that $V$ admits a $G$-partition $\mathcal{B} = \{ B_0, ... , B_b \}$, with parts of size $v$, and that the quotient graph induced on $\mathcal B$ is a complete graph of…

A graph $\G$ with a group $H$ of automorphisms acting semiregularly on the vertices with two orbits is called a {\em bi-Cayley graph} over $H$. When $H$ is a normal subgroup of $\Aut(\G)$, we say that $\G$ is {\em normal} with respect to…

A graph is edge-transitive if the natural action of its automorphism group on its edge set is transitive. An automorphism of a graph is semiregular if all of the orbits of the subgroup generated by this automorphism have the same length.…

The $G$-graph $\Gamma(G,S)$ is a graph from the group $G$ generated by $S\subseteq G$, where the vertices are the right cosets of the cyclic subgroups $\langle s \rangle, s\in S$ with $k$-edges between two distinct cosets if there is an…

Given a directed graph G=(V,E) an independent set A of the vertices V is called quasi-kernel (quasi-sink) iff for each point v there is a path of length at most 2 from some point of A to v (from v to some point of A). Every finite directed…

We characterize connected tetravalent graphs $\Gamma$ which admit groups $M<H$ of automorphisms such that $\Gamma$ is $M$-half-arc-transitive and $H$-arc-transitive. Examples for each case are constructed, including a counter-example to a…

The structure of a certain subgroup $S$ of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group (RAAG) $G$ is described in detail: namely the subgroup generated by inversions and elementary transvections. We define admissible subsets of…

For a classical group $G$ over a field $F$ together with a finite-order automorphism $\theta$ that acts compatibly on $F$, we describe the fixed point subgroup of $\theta$ on $G$ and the eigenspaces of $\theta$ on the Lie algebra…
