This paper examines the spectral characterizations of oriented graphs. Let $\Sigma$ be an $n$-vertex oriented graph with skew-adjacency matrix $S$. Previous research mainly focused on self-converse oriented graphs, proposing arithmetic…
We introduce a switching operation, inspired by the Godsil-McKay switching, in order to obtain pairs of $G$-cospectral gain graphs, that are gain graphs cospectral with respect to every representation of the gain group $G$. For instance,…
A new class of isospectral graphs is presented. These graphs are isospectral with respect to both the normalised Laplacian on the discrete graph and the standard differential Laplacian on the corresponding metric graph. The new class of…
In this paper we consider the concept of preintersection numbers of a graph. These numbers are determined by the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of the graph, and generalize the intersection numbers of a distance-regular graph. By using…
Graph classification plays an important role is data mining, and various methods have been developed recently for classifying graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel method for graph classification that is based on homotopy equivalence of…
We give a characterization of the graphs with at most three trivial characteristic ideals. This implies the complete characterization of the regular graphs whose critical groups have at most three invariant factors equal to 1 and the…
In the past decades, graphs that are determined by their spectrum have received more attention, since they have been applied to several fields, such as randomized algorithms, combinatorial optimization problems and machine learning. An…
Graph spectra are an important class of structural features on graphs that have shown promising results in enhancing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). Despite their widespread practical use, the theoretical understanding of the power of…

Let $(X,E_X)$ and $(V,E_V)$ be finite connected graphs without loops. We assume that $V$ has two distinguished vertices $a,b$ and an automorphism $\gamma$ which exchanges $a$ and~$b$. The $V$-edge substitution of $X$ is the graph $X[V]$…
The adjacency operator of a graph has a spectrum and a class of scalar-valued spectral measures which have been systematically analyzed; it also has a spectral multiplicity function which has been less studied. The first purpose of this…
The ring of graph invariants is spanned by the basic graph invariants which calculate the number of subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph in other graphs. These subgraphs counting invariants are not algebraically independent. In our view…
In this paper we will apply the tensor and its traces to investigate the spectral characterization of unicyclic graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $G^m$ be the $m$-th power (hypergraph) of $G$. The spectrum of $G$ is referring to its adjacency…
Symmetry breaking for graphs and other combinatorial objects is notoriously hard. On the one hand, complete symmetry breaks are exponential in size. On the other hand, current, state-of-the-art, partial symmetry breaks are often considered…
A hypergraph generalizes the concept of an ordinary graph. In an ordinary graph, edges connect pairs of vertices, whereas in a hypergraph, hyperedges can connect multiple vertices at a time. In this paper, we obtain a relationship between…
In this paper, we introduce a magneto-spectral invariant for finite graphs. This invariant vanishes on trees and is maximized by complete graphs. We compute this invariant for cycles, complete graphs, wheel graphs, hypercubes, complete…
Spectral hypergraph theory studies the structural properties of a hypergraph that can be inferred from the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of either matrices or tensors associated with it. In this paper we study the spectral…
We introduce a hypergraph matrix, named the unified matrix, and use it to represent the hypergraph as a graph. We show that the unified matrix of a hypergraph is identical to the adjacency matrix of the associated graph. This enables us to…
