A connected Cayley graph on an abelian group with a finite generating set $S$ can be represented by its Heuberger matrix, i.e., an integer matrix whose columns generate the group of relations between members of $S$. In a previous article,…

In this paper, we take a modest first step towards a systematic study of chromatic numbers of Cayley graphs on abelian groups. We lose little when we consider these graphs only when they are connected and of finite degree. As in the work of…

A cubelike graph is a Cayley graph on the product $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\cdots\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ of the integers modulo $2$ with itself finitely many times. In 1992, Payan proved that no cubelike graph can have chromatic number $3$. The…

Let $G$ be an abelian group. The main theorem of this paper asserts that there exists a Cayley graph on $G$ with chromatic number $3$ if and only if $G$ is not of exponent $1$, $2$, or $4$. For connected Cayley graphs, we also show that…

Let $R$ be a ring. The unitary addition Cayley graph of $R$, denoted $\mathcal{U}(R)$, is the graph with vertex $R$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x+y$ is a unit. We determine a formula for the clique…

The chromatic number of a latin square $L$, denoted $\chi(L)$, is the minimum number of partial transversals needed to cover all of its cells. It has been conjectured that every latin square satisfies $\chi(L) \leq |L|+2$. If true, this…

A cube-like graph is a Cayley graph for the elementary abelian group of order $2^n$. In studies of the chromatic number of cube-like graphs, the $k$th power of the $n$-dimensional hypercube, $Q_n^k$, is frequently considered. This coloring…

In this paper, we will study the chromatic number of Cayley graphs of algebraic groups that arise from algebraic constructions. Using Lang-Weil bound and representation theory of finite simple groups of Lie type, we will establish lower…

A path in an edge-colored graph $G$, where adjacent edges may have the same color, is called a rainbow path if no two edges of the path are colored the same. The rainbow connection number $rc(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum integer $i$ for which…

Given a set $S$ of positive integers, the integer distance graph for $S$ has the set of integers as its vertex set, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the absolute value of their difference lies in $S$. In 2002, Zhu completely…

Let G be an abelian group of cardinality N, where (N,6) = 1, and let A be a random subset of G. Form a graph Gamma_A on vertex set G by joining x to y if and only if x + y is in A. Then, almost surely as N tends to infinity, the chromatic…

If we fix a spanning subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$, we can define a chromatic number of $H$ with respect to $G$ and we show that it coincides with the chromatic number of a double covering of $G$ with co-support $H$. We also find a few…

The chromatic threshold of a graph $H$ is the minimum-degree density above which every $H$-free graph has bounded chromatic number. We study a two-color Ramsey analogue: for graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, we ask for the minimum-degree density…

A 2-edge-colored graph or a signed graph is a simple graph with two types of edges. A homomorphism from a 2-edge-colored graph $G$ to a 2-edge-colored graph $H$ is a mapping $\varphi: V(G) \rightarrow V(H)$ that maps every edge in $G$ to an…
