Given a regular (connected) graph $\Gamma=(X,E)$ with adjacency matrix $A$, $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues, and diameter $D$, we give a characterization of when its distance matrix $A_D$ is a polynomial in $A$, in terms of the adjacency…

Let $\C$ denote the field of complex numbers, and fix a nonzero $q \in \C$ such that $q^4 \ne 1$. Define a $\C$-algebra $\Delta_q$ by generators and relations in the following way. The generators are $A,B,C$. The relations assert that each…

Let the Kneser graph $K$ of a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ be the graph on the same vertex set as $\Gamma$, where two vertices are adjacent when they have maximal distance in $\Gamma$. We study the situation where the Bose-Mesner algebra…

We prove that, if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected cubic vertex-transitive graph, then either there exists a semiregular automorphism of $\Gamma$ of order at least $6$, or the number of vertices of $\Gamma$ is bounded above by an absolute…

A strongly regular graph with parameters $(n,d,a,c)$ is a $d$-regular graph of order $n$, in which every pair of adjacent vertices has exactly $a$ common neighbor(s) and every pair of nonadjacent vertices has exactly $c$ common neighbor(s).…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter $D\geq 3$ and Bose-Mesner algebra $M$. For $\theta\in C\cup \infty$ we define a 1 dimensional subspace of $M$ which we call $M(\theta)$. If $\theta\in C$ then $M(\theta)$ consists…

For $q\in\mathbb{R}$, the $Q$-matrix $Q=Q_q$ of a connected simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is $Q_q=(q^{\partial(x,y)})_{x,y\in V}$, where $\partial$ denotes the path-length distance. Describing the set $\pi(G)$ consisting of those $q\in \mathbb{R}$…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be uniformly HS stable if any map $\varphi : \Gamma \to U(n)$ that is almost a unitary representation (w.r.t. the Hilbert Schmidt norm) is close to a genuine unitary representation of the same dimension. We…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter at least three and standard module $V$. We introduce two direct sum decompositions of $V$. We call these the displacement decomposition for $\Gamma$ and the split…

This is an introduction to graph theory, from a geometric and analytic viewpoint. A finite graph $X$ is described by its adjacency matrix $d\in M_N(0,1)$, which can be thought of as being a kind of discrete Laplacian, and we first discuss…

We describe a very simple condition that is necessary for the universal rigidity of a complete bipartite framework $(K(n,m),p,q)$. This condition is also sufficient for universal rigidity under a variety of weak assumptions, such as general…

Quantum symmetry of a graph $C^{*}$-algebra $C^{*}(\Gamma)$ corresponding to a finite graph $\Gamma$ has been explored by several mathematicians within different categories in the past few years. In this article, we establish that there are…

A subset $R$ of the vertex set of a graph $\Gamma$ is said to be $(\kappa,\tau)$-regular if $R$ induces a $\kappa$-regular subgraph and every vertex outside $R$ is adjacent to exactly $\tau$ vertices in $R$. In particular, if $R$ is a…

Suppose that $M$ is a closed, connected, and oriented Riemannian $n$-manifold, $f \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to M$ is a quasiregular map automorphic under a discrete group $\Gamma$ of Euclidean isometries, and $f$ has finite multiplicity in a…

In this work we consider the class of Cayley graphs known as generalized Paley graphs (GP-graphs for short) given by $\Gamma(k,q) = Cay(\mathbb{F}_q, \{x^k : x\in \mathbb{F}_q^* \})$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field with $q$…

We consider a class of graphs subject to certain restrictions, including the finiteness of diameters. Any surjective mapping $\phi:\Gamma\to\Gamma'$ between graphs from this class is shown to be an isomorphism provided that the following…

We give a general construction leading to different non-isomorphic families $\Gamma_{n,q}(\K)$ of connected $q$-regular semisymmetric graphs of order $2q^{n+1}$ embedded in $\PG(n+1,q)$, for a prime power $q=p^h$, using the linear…

The \emph{difference subgroup graph} $D(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertices are the non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$, with two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ adjacent if and only if $\langle H, K \rangle = G$…

In this paper, we consider a deterministic graph~\(\Gamma\) drawn on the unit square with straight line segments as edges and connect vertices of~\(\Gamma\) using edges of a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) with adjacency distance~\(r_n\)…
