In this paper, we study new Cayley graphs over the additive group of Galois rings. First we prove that they are expander graphs by using a Weil-Carlitz-Uchiyama type estimation of character sums for Galois rings. We also show that Cayley…

There is a Paley graph for each prime power $q$ such that $q\equiv 1\pmod 4$. The vertex set is the field $\mathbb Fq$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge if and only if $x-y$ is a nonzero square of $\mathbb Fq$. We compute…

For a graph $\Gamma$, the multiplicity of the eigenvalue $0$, denoted by $\eta(\Gamma)$, is called the nullity of $\Gamma$. Also the energy of $\Gamma$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(\Gamma)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the…

Let $k \geq 2$ be an even integer. Let $q$ be a prime power such that $q \equiv k+1 \pmod {2k}$. We define the $\textit{k-th power Paley digraph}$ of order $q$, $G_k(q)$, as the graph with vertex set $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $a \to b$ is an…

Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct odd primes. Let $\Gamma=(V(\Gamma), E(\Gamma))$ be a non-Cayley vertex-transitive graph of order $pq.$ Let $G\leq \Aut(\Gamma)$ acts primitively on the vertex set $V(\Gamma)$. In this paper, we show that $G$ is…

We study the Laplacian spectrum of token graphs, also called symmetric powers of graphs. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of vertices from $G$, two of which being adjacent whenever…

To a simple graph we associate a so-called graph series, which can be viewed as the Hilbert--Poincar\'e series of a certain infinite jet scheme. We study new $q$-representations and examine modular properties of several examples including…

We consider a primitive distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter at least $3$. We use the intersection numbers of $\Gamma$ to find a positive semidefinite matrix $G$ with integer entries. We show that $G$ has determinant zero if and…

It is shown that there are groups $\Gamma$ with finite generating sets $S$ such that the adjacency operator of the Cayley graph ${\rm Cay}(\Gamma,S)$ is a disjoint union of $N$ intervals, for arbitrarily large integers $N$.

In this paper, all graphs whose adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) different from $2$ and $-1$ are determined. These graphs conclude a class of generalized friendship graphs $F_{t,r,k}, $ which is the…

Let G be a finite group with identity e and H \neq \{e\} be a subgroup of G. The generalized non-coprime graph GAmma_{G,H} of G with respect to H is the simple undirected graph with G - \{e \}\) as the vertex set and two distinct vertices a…

In the generalized truncation construction, one replaces each vertex of a $k$-regular graph $\Gamma$ with a copy of a graph $\Upsilon$ of order $k$. We investigate the symmetry properties of the graphs constructed in this way, especially in…

Edge ideals of graphs were introduced by Villarreal in 1990, and have been the subject of many studies since then. In the same year, Fr\"oberg characterized edge ideals with regularity 2 in combinatorial terms. This result was generalized…
