For a subgroup $L$ of the symmetric group $S_\ell$, we determine the minimal base size of $GL_d(q)\wr L$ acting on $V_d(q)^\ell$ as an imprimitive linear group. This is achieved by computing the number of orbits of $GL_d(q)$ on spanning…

A permutation group is called semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is either transitive or semiregular. Given nontrivial finite transitive permutation groups $L_1$ and $L_2$ with $L_1$ not semiprimitive, we construct an infinite…

We develop a theory of average sizes of kernels of generic matrices with support constraints defined in terms of graphs and hypergraphs. We apply this theory to study unipotent groups associated with graphs. In particular, we establish…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $d$ over $F_q$, a finite field of $q$ elements, and let $G \le GL(V) \cong GL_d(q)$ be a linear group. A base of $G$ is a set of vectors whose pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. We prove that if…

For a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $H$, the normal subgroup based power graph of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma_H(G)$ whose vertex set $V(\Gamma_H(G))=(G\setminus H)\bigcup \{e\}$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are edge connected if…

In this paper we introduce the symmetric normaliser graph of a group $G$. The vertex set of this graph consists of elements of the group. Vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x$ lies in the normaliser of $\langle y \rangle$ and $y$ lies in…

Let $\Gamma$ be a connected $G$-vertex-transitive graph, let $v$ be a vertex of $\Gamma$ and let $L=G_v^{\Gamma(v)}$ be the permutation group induced by the action of the vertex-stabiliser $G_v$ on the neighbourhood $\Gamma(v)$. Then…

For $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $|S|\geq 2$, $\lambda(S)$ is the maximum number of edge-disjoint trees connecting $S$ in $G$. For an integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the \emph{generalized $k$-edge-connectivity} $\lambda_k(G)$ of $G$ is then…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $\lambda(G)$ denote the smallest eigenvalue of $G$. First, we provide an upper bound for $\lambda(G)$ based on induced bipartite subgraphs of $G$. Consequently, we extract two other upper bounds, one relying on…

The well-known Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture states that for any graph $F$, there exists $\epsilon>0$ such that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ that contains no induced copy of $F$ has a homogeneous set of size at least $n^{\epsilon}$. We consider…

In a seminal paper, Alon and Tarsi have introduced an algebraic technique for proving upper bounds on the choice number of graphs (and thus, in particular, upper bounds on their chromatic number). The upper bound on the choice number of $G$…

Let $B$ be a set of Eulerian subgraphs of a graph $G$. We say $B$ forms a $k$-basis if it is a minimum set that generates the cycle space of $G$, and any edge of $G$ lies in at most $k$ members of $B$. The basis number of a graph $G$,…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

The Gruenberg--Kegel graph (or the prime graph) $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is defined as follows. The vertex set of $\Gamma(G)$ is the set of all prime divisors of the order of $G$. Two distinct primes $r$ and $s$ regarded as…

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, let $\nu^{(m)}(H)$ denote the maximum size of a set $S$ of edges of $H$ whose pairwise intersection has size less than $m$. Let $\tau^{(m)}(H)$ denote the minimum size of a set $S$ of $m$-sets of $V(H)$…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. We attach to $N$ two graphs ${\Gamma}_G(N)$ and ${\Gamma}^{\ast}_G(N)$ related to the conjugacy classes of $G$ contained in $N$ and to the set of primes dividing the sizes…

The simplex graph $S(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertices are the cliques of $G$ (including the empty set), with two vertices being adjacent if, as cliques of $G$, they differ in exactly one vertex. Simplex graphs form…

Given a simple graph $A$ on a group $G$ and an equivalence relation $B$ on $G$, the $B$ super $A$ graph is defined as a simple graph, whose vertex set is $G$ and two vertices $g$, $h$ are adjacent if either they are in the same equivalence…

The bondage number b(G) of a graph G is the smallest number of edges whose removal from G results in a graph with larger domination number. In this paper we present new upper bounds for b(G) in terms of girth, order and Euler…
