We develop two approaches to Quantum (or Non-commutative) Graphs based on arbitrary von Neumann algebras $M\subseteq\mathcal B(H)$: one looking at operator bimodules of Hilbert--Schmidt (instead of bounded) operators, and the second looking…

We prove that no quantifier-free formula in the language of group theory can define the $\aleph_1$-half graph in a Polish group, thus generalising some results from [6]. We then pose some questions on the space of groups of automorphisms of…

Given an infinite word over the alphabet $\{0,1,2,3\}$, we define a class of bipartite hereditary graphs $\mathcal{G}^\alpha$, and show that $\mathcal{G}^\alpha$ has unbounded clique-width unless $\alpha$ contains at most finitely many…

We consider a 2-homogeneous bipartite distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter $D \geq 3$. We assume that $\Gamma$ is not a hypercube nor a cycle. We fix a $Q$-polynomial ordering of the primitive idempotents of $\Gamma$. This…

Motivated by the theory of Cuntz-Krieger algebras we define and study $ C^\ast $-algebras associated to directed quantum graphs. For classical graphs the $ C^\ast $-algebras obtained this way can be viewed as free analogues of Cuntz-Krieger…

We demonstrate that a quantum graph exhibits a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry provided the coefficients in the condition describing the wave function matching at the vertices are circulant matrices; this symmetry is nontrivial if they are not…

We study properties of automorphisms of graph products of groups. We show that graph product $\Gamma\mathcal{G}$ has non-trivial pointwise inner automorphisms if and only if some vertex group corresponding to a central vertex has…

Circulant graphs are a widely studied family of graphs whose members possess varying amounts of symmetry. Although considerable progress has been made in finding the automorphism groups of circulant graphs under certain restrictions, a…

We introduce a Sinkhorn-type algorithm for producing quantum permutation matrices encoding symmetries of graphs. Our algorithm generates square matrices whose entries are orthogonal projections onto one-dimensional subspaces satisfying a…

We propose a definition of graph subshifts of finite type that can be seen as extending both the notions of subshifts of finite type from classical symbolic dynamics and finitely presented groups from combinatorial group theory. These are…

A graph \Gamma is said to be {\em symmetric} if its automorphism group \Aut(\Gamma) is transitive on the arc set of \Gamma. Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group and let \Gamma be a connected pentavalent symmetric graph such that…

A detailed proof is given of a theorem describing the centraliser of a transitive permutation group, with applications to automorphism groups of objects in various categories of maps, hypermaps, dessins, polytopes and covering spaces, where…

We describe a technique to determine the automorphism group of a geometrically represented graph, by understanding the structure of the induced action on all geometric representations. Using this, we characterize automorphism groups of…

A graph $\Gamma$ is a bi-Cayley graph over a group $G$ if $G$ is a semiregular group of automorphisms of $\Gamma$ having two orbits. Let $G$ be a non-abelian metacyclic $p$-group for an odd prime $p$, and let $\Gamma$ be a connected…
