A graphical regular representation (GRR) of a group $G$ is a Cayley graph of $G$ whose full automorphism group is equal to the right regular permutation representation of $G$. Towards a proof of the conjecture that only finitely many finite…
For groups $G$ that can be generated by an involution and an element of odd prime order, this paper gives a sufficient condition for a certain Cayley graph of $G$ to be a graphical regular representation (GRR), that is, for the Cayley graph…
We study cubic graphical regular representations of the finite simple groups $PSL_2(q)$. It is shown that such graphical regular representations exist if and only if $q\neq7$, and the generating set must consist of three involutions.
We estimate the number of graphical regular representations (GRRs) of a given group with large enough order. As a consequence, we show that almost all finite Cayley graphs have full automorphism groups 'as small as possible'. This confirms…
A necessary condition for a Cayley digraph Cay$(R,S)$ to be a regular representation is that there are no non-trivial group automorphisms of $R$ that fix $S$ setwise. A group is DRR-detecting or GRR-detecting if this condition is also…
We say that a group G is a cube group if it is generated by a set S of involutions such that the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G,S) is isomorphic to a cube. Equivalently, G is a cube group if it acts on a cube such that the action is…
We say that a finite group G is "DRR-detecting" if, for every subset S of G, either the Cayley digraph Cay(G,S) is a digraphical regular representation (that is, its automorphism group acts regularly on its vertex set) or there is a…
It was proved in [Y.-Q. Feng, C. H. Li and J.-X. Zhou, Symmetric cubic graphs with solvable automorphism groups, {\em European J. Combin.} {\bf 45} (2015), 1-11] that a cubic symmetric graph with a solvable automorphism group is either a…
A random algebraic graph is defined by a group $G$ with a uniform distribution over it and a connection $\sigma:G\longrightarrow[0,1]$ with expectation $p,$ satisfying $\sigma(g)=\sigma(g^{-1}).$ The random graph…
For any finite group $G$, a natural question to ask is the order of the smallest possible automorphism group for a Cayley graph on $G$. A particular Cayley graph whose automorphism group has this order is referred to as an MRR (Most Rigid…
A group $G$ has a Frobenius graphical representation (GFR) if there is a simple graph $\varGamma$ whose full automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$ and it acts on vertices as a Frobenius group. In particular, any group $G$ with GFR is a…
By a result of Babai, with finitely many exceptions, every group $G$ admits a semi-regular poset representation with three orbits, that is, a poset $P$ with automorphism group $\textrm{Aut}(P) \simeq G$ such that the action of…
Cayley maps are combinatorial structures built upon Cayley graphs on a group. As such the original group embeds in their group of automorphisms, and one can ask in which situation the two coincide (one then calls the Cayley map a mapical…
A graph is called a GRR if its automorphism group acts regularly on its vertex-set. Such a graph is necessarily a Cayley graph. Godsil has shown that there are only two infinite families of finite groups that do not admit GRRs : abelian…
A recent conjecture of the author and Teng Fang states that there are only finitely many finite simple groups with no cubic graphical regular representation. In this paper, we make a crucial progress towards this conjecture by giving an…
In this paper we are interested in the asymptotic enumeration of Cayley graphs. It has previously been shown that almost every Cayley digraph has the smallest possible automorphism group: that is, it is a digraphical regular representation…
A \emph{rational orthogonal matrix} $Q$ is an orthogonal matrix with rational entries, and $Q$ is called \emph{regular} if each of its row sum equals one, i.e., $Qe = e$ where $e$ is the all-one vector. This paper presents a method for…
The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a group is the undirected graph whose vertices are those primes which occur as the order of an element of the group, and distinct vertices $p$, $q$ are joined by an edge whenever the group has an element of…
The concept of directed strongly regular graphs (DSRG) was introduced by Duval in 1988 \cite{A}.In the present paper,we use representation theory of finite groups in order to investigate the directed strongly regular Cayley graphs.We first…
Given a group $G$, an {\em $m$-Cayley digraph $\G$ over $G$} is a digraph that has a group of automorphisms isomorphic to $G$ acting semiregularly on the vertex set with $m$ orbits. We say that $G$ admits an {\em oriented $m$-semiregular…
