In this paper, we study the genera of zero-divisor graphs with respect to ideals in finite rings.
Recently, several works by a number of authors have studied integrality, distance integrality, and distance powers of Cayley graphs over some finite groups, such as dicyclic groups and (generalized) dihedral groups. Our aim is to generalize…
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
For every natural number $d$, we construct finite $d$-regular simple graphs that, for every $r \le d$, contain an independent exact $r$-cover. This answers a question of Gray and Johnson that arose in their study of 2-step transit…
We develop a basic theory for divisible design graphs with possible selfloops (LDDG's), and describe two infinite families of such graphs, some members of which are also classical examples of divisible design graphs without loops (DDG's).…
A Schur ring (S-ring) over a group $G$ is called separable if every of its similaritities is induced by isomorphism. We establish a criterion for an S-ring to be separable in the case when the group $G$ is cyclic. Using this criterion, we…
Let R be a finite commutative ring with unity, and let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. The zero-divisor graph, denoted by {\Gamma}(R) is a simple graph with vertex set as R, and two vertices x, y \in R are adjacent in {\Gamma}(R) if and only…
Among other things, it is shown that for every pair of positive integers $r$, $d$, satisfying $1<r<d\leq 2r$, and every finite simple graph $H,$ there is a connected graph $G$ with diameter $d$, radius $r$, and center $H.$
The paper gives two approaches to write explicit presentations for the class of Dehn quandles using presentations of their underlying groups. The first approach gives finite presentations for Dehn quandles of a class of Garside groups and…
In this paper, we use the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of a Riordan graph. The Riordan graphs are a far-reaching generalization of the well known and well studied Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs, and also some other…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite connected graph with a strict partial order on vertices to be a combinatorial invariant of pseudoharmonic function are obtained.
Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson have recently shown that the computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a G-manifold can be reduced to a computation in graph theory. This opens up the possibility that many of the fundamental…
An explicit formula for the Schur multiplier of the group of unitriangular matrices over products of cyclic rings $\ZZ/m\ZZ$ and $\ZZ$ is derived. We use it to provide presentations of the corresponding covering groups and touch upon the…
In this paper, we introduce orbit matrices of directed strongly regular graphs (DSRGs). Further, we propose a method of constructing directed strongly regular graphs with prescribed automorphism group using genetic algorithm. In the…
In this paper the structure of the Cayley graphs and G-graphs of some gyro-groups are studied and some properties of them will be proved. Moreover we review some special gyro-groups including: gyro-commutative gyrogroups, dihedral…
We introduce several commutative rings, the snake rings, that have strong connections to cluster algebras. The elements of these rings are residue classes of unions of certain labeled graphs that were used to construct canonical bases in…
We study finitely generated pairs of groups $H \leq G$ such that the Schreier graph of $H$ has at least two ends and is \emph{narrow}. Examples of narrow Schreier graphs include those that are quasi-isometric to finitely ended trees or have…
We consider the notion of discrete Ricci curvature for graphs defined by Schmuckenschl{\"a}ger \cite{shmuck} and compute its value for Bruhat graphs associated to finite Coxeter groups. To do so we work with the geometric realization of a…
Any Schur ring is uniquely determined by a partition of the elements of the group. An open question in the study of Schur rings is determining which partitions of the group induce a Schur ring. Although a structure theorem is available for…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of a false generalization of the rule of Sarrus and its properties that can be derived with the help of dihedral groups. Further, we discuss a Sarrus-like scheme that could be helpful for students to…
