We study a novel type of braid groups on a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$. These are fundamental groups of certain manifolds that are hybrids between symmetric products and configuration spaces of points on $\Sigma$; a class of examples…

A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if it admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of arcs of $\Gamma$, where an arc is an ordered pair of adjacent vertices. Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph such that its…

The chromatic index of a cubic graph is either 3 or 4. Edge-Kempe switching, which can be used to transform edge-colorings, is here considered for 3-edge-colorings of cubic graphs. Computational results for edge-Kempe switching of cubic…

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…

An \textit{\(m \times n\) grid graph} is the induced subgraph of the square lattice whose vertex set consists of all integer grid points \(\{(i,j) : 0 \leq i < m,\ 0 \leq j < n\}\). Let $H$ and $K$ be Hamiltonian cycles in an $m \times n$…

A graph $\Gamma$ is called $G$-symmetric if it admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices. We give a classification of $G$-symmetric graphs $\Gamma$ with $V(\Gamma)$ admitting…

Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and $Z(G)$ be the center of $G$. The non-commuting graph $\Gamma_G$ associated to $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G\setminus Z(G)$ and two distinct elements $x,y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy\neq yx$.…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic metric graph, which does not coincide with a line. We consider the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon$ on $\Gamma$ with the action $-\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathrm{d}^2/\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on…

Let G be a group. The intersection graph G(G) of G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of G; and there is an edge between two distinct…

Godsil-McKay switching is an operation on graphs that doesn't change the spectrum of the adjacency matrix. Usually (but not always) the obtained graph is non-isomorphic with the original graph. We present a straightforward sufficient…

We investigate properties which ensure that a given finite graph is the commuting graph of a group or semigroup. We show that all graphs on at least two vertices such that no vertex is adjacent to all other vertices is the commuting graph…

We extend the notion of quasi-transitive orientations of graphs to 2-edge-coloured graphs. By relating quasi-transitive $2$-edge-colourings to an equivalence relation on the edge set of a graph, we classify those graphs that admit a…

A graph is said to be edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on its edges. It is known that edge-transitive graphs are either vertex-transitive or bipartite. In this paper we present a complete classification of all…
