Finding general conditions which ensure that a graph is Hamiltonian is a central topic in graph theory. An old and well known conjecture in the area states that any $d$-regular $n$-vertex graph $G$ whose second largest eigenvalue in…

Let $G$ be a finite, undirected $d$-regular graph and $A(G)$ its normalized adjacency matrix, with eigenvalues $1 = \lambda_1(A)\geq \dots \ge \lambda_n \ge -1$. It is a classical fact that $\lambda_n = -1$ if and only if $G$ is bipartite.…

In this paper we study the Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(S_n,T)$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ generated by a set of transpositions $T$. We show that for $n\geq 5$ the Cayley graph is normal. As a corollary, we show that its automorphism group…

In this paper, we show that the largest signless Laplacian H-eigenvalue of a connected $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$, where $k \ge 3$, reaches its upper bound $2\Delta(G)$, where $\Delta(G)$ is the largest degree of $G$, if and only if $G$ is…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. The $k$-token graph (or symmetric $k$-th power) of $G$, denoted by $F_k(G)$ has as vertices the ${n\choose k}$ $k$-subsets of vertices from $G$, and two vertices are adjacent when their symmetric…

Transposition graph $T_n$ is defined as a Cayley graph over the symmetric group generated by all transpositions. It is known that all eigenvalues of $T_n$ are integers. However, an explicit description of the spectrum is unknown. In this…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Cayley graph, or a Cayley sum graph, or a twisted Cayley graph, or a twisted Cayley sum graph, or a vertex-transitive graph. Suppose $\Gamma$ is undirected and non-bipartite. Let $\mu$ (resp. $\mu_2$) denote the smallest…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \geq \cdots \geq \lambda_n$. Both $\lambda_1 + \lambda_n$ and the odd girth of $G$ can be seen as measures of the bipartiteness of $G$. Csikv\'ari proved in 2022 that for odd girth 5…
