Let $k \geq 1$ be an integer and $n=3k-1$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_n$ denote the additive group of integers modulo $n$ and let $C$ be the subset of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ consisting of the elements congruent to 1 modulo 3. The Cayley graph…

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…

Let $A$ be an abelian group and let $\iota$ be the automorphism of $A$ defined by $i:a\mapsto a^{-1}$. A Cayley graph $\Gamma=\mathrm{Cay}(A,S)$ is said to have an automorphism group \emph{as small as possible} if $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)=…

For every pair of distinct primes $p$, $q$ we prove that $\mathbb{Z}_p^3 \times \mathbb{Z}_q$ is a CI-group with respect to binary relational structures.

We construct an infinite family of triples (G,S1, S2) each consisting of a group G and a pair (S1, S2) of distinct subsets of G with the following properties. i The two Cayley graphs Cay(G, S1) and Cay(G,S2) are non-isomorphic. ii The…

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…

For a finite group $G$ and an inverse-closed generating set $C$ of $G$, let $Aut(G;C)$ consist of those automorphisms of $G$ which leave $C$ invariant. We define an $Aut(G;C)$-invariant normal subgroup $\Phi(G;C)$ of $G$ which has the…

An automorphism $\alpha$ of a Cayley graph $Cay(G,S)$ of a group $G$ with connection set $S$ is color-preserving if $\alpha(g,gs) = (h,hs)$ or $(h,hs^{-1})$ for every edge $(g,gs)\in E(Cay(G,S))$. If every color-preserving automorphism 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 finite group $G$ admits an {\em oriented regular representation} if there exists a Cayley digraph of $G$ such that it has no digons and its automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$. Let $m$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we extend…

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…

The directed power graph $\vec{\mathcal G}(\mathbf G)$ of a group $\mathbf G$ is the simple digraph with vertex set $G$ such that $x\rightarrow y$ if $y$ is a power of $x$. The power graph $\mathcal G(\mathbf G)$ of the group $\mathbf G$ is…

We introduce shortcut graphs and groups. Shortcut graphs are graphs in which cycles cannot embed without metric distortion. Shortcut groups are groups which act properly and cocompactly on shortcut graphs. These notions unify a surprisingly…

Li and Praeger classified finite nonabelian simple groups, it has only one or two fusion classes of any certain value. As a by-product, they classified m-CI-groups, which is critical in the research of Cayley graphs. In the paper, we will…

Here we study some algebraic properties of non-cyclic graphs. In this paper we show that $\overline{\Gamma}_G$ is isomorphic to $K_3\cup (n-4)K_1$ or $K_4\cup (n-5)K_1$ if and only if $G$ is isomorphic to $D_8$ or $D_{10}$, respectively. We…

In this paper we study finite groups which have Cayley isomorphism property with respect to Cayley maps, CIM-groups for a brief. We show that the structure of the CIM-groups is very restricted. It is described in Theorem~\ref{111015a} where…

The power graph of a group $G$ is a graph with vertex set $G$, in which two vertices are adjacent if one is some power of the other. In the commuting graph, with $G$ as the vertex set, two vertices are joined by an edge if they commute in…

The directed power graph $\vec{\mathcal G}(\mathbf G)$ of a group $\mathbf G$ is the simple digraph with vertex set $G$ such that $x\rightarrow y$ if $y$ is a power of $x$. The power graph of $\mathbf G$, denoted with $\mathcal G(\mathbf…

In this note we show that there is a cubic graph of girth $5$ that is not a subgraph of any minimal Cayley graph. On the other hand, we show that any Generalized Petersen Graph $G(n,k)$ with $\gcd(n,k)=1$ is an induced subgraph of a minimal…
