The graph reconstruction conjecture asserts that every finite simple graph on at least three vertices can be reconstructed up to isomorphism from its deck - the collection of its vertex-deleted subgraphs. Kocay's Lemma is an important tool…

We give a new recurrence formula for the eigenvalues of the derangement graph. Consequently, we provide a simpler proof of the Alternating Sign Property of the derangement graph. Moreover, we prove that the absolute value of the eigenvalue…

In this paper, we propose the following conjecture which generalizes a theorem proved by Huang [Hua19] in his recent breakthrough proof of the sensitivity conjecture. We conjecture that for any Cayley graph $X = \Gamma(G,S)$ on a group $G$…

Let $k \geq 1$ be an integer and $n=3k-1$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_n$ denote the additive group of integers modulo $n$ and let $C$ be the subset of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ consisting of the elements congruent to 1 modulo 3. The Cayley graph…

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…

In this paper we first obtain the spectrum of the folded hypercube in a new approach. Then we introduce a new family of graphs called the extended Hamming graph, denoted by $EH(n,2^n)$, which is constructed from the well-known Hamming graph…

The Collatz conjecture states that repeated steps of $n\mathrm{\to }\mathrm{3}n\mathrm{+1}$ at odd numbers and $n\mathrm{\to }n\mathrm{/2}$ at even numbers amount to walks over root paths to the branching number $c=4$ in the `trivial'…

A mixed graph is said to be integral if all the eigenvalues of its Hermitian adjacency matrix are integer. Let $\Gamma$ be an abelian group. The \textit{mixed Cayley graph} $Cay(\Gamma,S)$ is a mixed graph on the vertex set $\Gamma$ and…

The standard notion of the Laplacian of a graph is generalized to the setting of a graph with the extra structure of a ``transmission`` system. A transmission system is a mathematical representation of a means of transmitting…

We determine the spectra of cubic plane graphs whose faces have sizes 3 and 6. Such graphs, "(3,6)-fullerenes", have been studied by chemists who are interested in their energy spectra. In particular we prove a conjecture of Fowler, which…

We investigate two conjectured spectral graph theoretic strengthenings of Tur\'an's theorem. Let $\mu_1 \ge \ldots \ge \mu_n$ denote the eigenvalues of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and clique number $\omega(G)$. The concise…

A graph $G$ is said to be Ramsey for a tuple of graphs $(H_1,\dots,H_r)$ if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in color $i$, for some $i$. A fundamental question at the intersection of Ramsey…

We show that the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $Sym_n$ generated by the cycle $(123...n)$ and the transposition $(12)$ embeds into $L_1$ with bi-Lipschitz distortion $O(1)$. This answers a question of Ostrovskii, and along with…
