It has been shown that there is a Hamilton cycle in every connected Cayley graph on each group G whose commutator subgroup is cyclic of prime-power order. This paper considers connected, vertex-transitive graphs X of order at least 3 where…

Let $G$ be a finite undirected multigraph with no self-loops. The Jacobian $\operatorname{Jac}(G)$ is a finite abelian group associated with $G$ whose cardinality is equal to the number of spanning trees of $G$. There are only a finite…

We initiate the study of Hamiltonian cycles up to symmetries of the underlying graph. Our focus lies on the extremal case of Hamiltonian-transitive graphs, i.e., Hamiltonian graphs where, for every pair of Hamiltonian cycles, 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…

It is well known that every finite subgroup of automorphism group of polynomial algebra of rank 2 over the field of zero characteristic is conjugated with a subgroup of linear automorphisms. We prove that it is not true for an arbitrary…

We characterise connected cubic graphs admitting a vertex- transitive group of automorphisms with an abelian normal subgroup that is not semiregular. We illustrate the utility of this result by using it to prove that the order of a…

A rank 3 graph is an orbital graph of a rank 3 permutation group of even order. Despite the classification of rank 3 graphs being complete, see, e.g., Chapter 11 of the recent monograph 'Strongly regular graphs' by Brouwer and Van…

We study which groups with pairing can occur as the Jacobian of a finite graph. We provide explicit constructions of graphs whose Jacobian realizes a large fraction of odd groups with a given pairing. Conditional on the generalized Riemann…

The Jacobian of a graph is a discrete analogue of the Jacobian of a Riemann surface. In this paper, we explore how Jacobians of graphs change when we glue two graphs along a common subgraph focusing on the case of cycle graphs. Then, we…

It is known that isomorphisms of graph Jacobians induce cyclic bijections on the associated graphs. We characterize when such cyclic bijections can be strengthened to graph isomorphisms, in terms of an easily computed divisor. The result…

We study Cayley graphs of abelian groups from the perspective of quantum symmetries. We develop a general strategy for determining the quantum automorphism groups of such graphs. Applying this procedure, we find the quantum symmetries of…

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…

We construct a sequence of finite graphs that weakly converge to a Cayley graph, but there is no labelling of the edges that would converge to the corresponding Cayley diagram. A similar construction is used to give graph sequences that…

This article studies automorphism groups of graph products of arbitrary groups. We completely characterise automorphisms that preserve the set of conjugacy classes of vertex groups as those automorphisms that can be decomposed as a product…

Let $G$ be a finite, non-abelian group of the form $G = A N$, where $A \leq G$ is abelian, and $N \trianglelefteq G$ is cyclic. We prove that the commuting graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is either a connected graph of diameter at most four, or…

This paper proves results about the Jacobians of a certain family of covering graphs, $Y$, of a base graph $X$, that is constructed from an assignment of elements from a group $G$ to the edges of $X$ ($G$ is called the voltage group and $Y$…

In this paper, generalized Cayley graphs are studied. It is proved that every generalized Cayley graph of order 2p is a Cayley graph, where p is a prime. Special attention is given to generalized Cayley graphs on Abelian groups. It is…

We investigate a representation of the automorphism group of a connected graph $X$ in the group of unimodular matrices $U_\beta$ of dimension $\beta$, where $\beta$ is the Betti number of graph $X$. We classify the graphs for which the…

A number of authors have studied the question of when a graph can be represented as a Cayley graph on more than one nonisomorphic group. The work to date has focussed on a few special situations: when the groups are $p$-groups; when the…

The Jacobian is an algebraic invariant of a graph which is often seen in analogy to the class group of a number field. In particular, there have been multiple investigations into the Iwasawa theory of graphs with the Jacobian playing the…
