In this article, we study connections between components of the Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(G,A)$, where $A$ is an arbitrary subset of a group $G$, and cosets of the subgroup of $G$ generated by $A$. In particular, we show how to construct…
In [B] Bowen defined the growth rate of an endomorphism of a finitely generated group and related it to the entropy of a map $f:M \mapsto M$ on a compact manifold. In this note we study the purely group theoretic aspects of the growth rate…
We study the class of functions on the set of (generalized) Young diagrams arising as the number of embeddings of bipartite graphs. We give a criterion for checking when such a function is a polynomial function on Young diagrams (in the…
We consider maps between commutative groups and their functional degrees. These degrees are defined based on a simple idea -- the functional degree should decrease if a discrete derivative is taken. We show that the maps of finite…
In this paper we introduce a Cayley-type graph for group-subgroup pairs and present some elementary properties of such graphs, including connectedness, their degree and partition structure, and vertex-transitivity. We relate these…
We show that every non-trivial compact connected group and every non-trivial general or special linear group over an infinite field admits a generating set such that the associated Cayley graph has infinite diameter.
We study how the spectral gap and diameter of Cayley graphs depend strongly on the choice of generating set. We answer a question of Pyber and Szab\'o (2013) by exhibiting a sequence of finite groups $G_n$ with $|G_n| \to \infty$ admitting…
New criteria for which Cayley graphs of cyclic groups of any order can be completely determined--up to isomorphism--by the eigenvalues of their adjacency matrices is presented. Secondly, a new construction for pairs of nonisomorphic Cayley…
We prove that a linear growth graph has finitely many horofunctions. This provides a short and simple proof that any finitely generated infinite group of linear growth is virtually cyclic.
We study upper bounds for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov problem defined on finite graphs with boundary. For finite graphs with boundary included in a Cayley graph associated to a group of polynomial growth, we give an upper…
We show that every finitely generated group G with an element of order at least $(5rank(G))^{12}$ admits a locally finite directed Cayley graph with automorphism group equal to G. If moreover G is not generalized dihedral, then the above…
We give an example of a 4-regular infinite automatic graph of intermediate growth. It is constructed as a Schreier graph of a certain group generated by 3-state automaton. The question was motivated by an open problem on the existence of…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $S$ be an inverse-closed subset of $G$ not containing the identity. The Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(G,S)$ has vertex set $G$, where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x^{-1}y \in S$.…
This note is a continuation of the study of the relationship between the geometry of Cayley graphs and the size of its metric-functional boundary. We show that, if there exists a Cayley graph with finitely many Busemann points, then the…
In the present paper, we study Neumaier Cayley graphs. First, we give a criterion for a Cayley graph to be a Neumaier graph with a spread given by the cosets of a subgroup. Further, we construct a new infinite family of Neumaier Cayley…
Planar locally finite graphs which are almost vertex transitive are discussed. If the graph is 3-connected and has at most one end then the group of automorphisms is a planar discontinuous group and its structure is well-known. A general…
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.…
A group action on a metric space is called growth tight if the exponential growth rate of the group with respect to the induced pseudo-metric is strictly greater than that of its quotients. A prototypical example is the action of a free…
We investigate Cayley graphs of finite semigroups and monoids. First, we look at semigroup digraphs, i.e., directed Cayley graphs of semigroups, and give a Sabidussi-type characterization in the case of monoids. We then correct a proof of…
We develop further Cannon's method of cone types for finding the growth function of a group, which can also be used to find the coordination sequences of certain infinite graphs. We then apply this method to compute the growth functions and…
