The relative Cayley graph of a group $G$ with respect to its proper subgroup $H$, is a graph whose vertices are elements of $G$ and two vertices $h\in H$ and $g\in G$ are adjacent if $g=hc$ for some $c\in C$, where $C$ is an inversed-closed…

Suppose G is a finite group, such that |G| = 27p, where p is prime. We show that if S is any generating set of G, then there is a hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G;S).

In geometric group theory one uses group actions on spaces to gain information about groups. One natural space to use is the Cayley graph of a group. The Cayley graph arguments that one encounters tend to require local finiteness, and hence…

A graph $G$ is a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree and an interval $I$, such that each leaf of the tree is a vertex of the graph, and there is an edge $\{ x, y \}$ in $G$ if and only if the weight of…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group, $C$ a non-identity conjugacy class of $G$, and $\Gamma_C$ the Cayley graph of $G$ based on $C \cup C^{-1}$. Our main result shows that in any such graph, there is an involution at bounded…

Given a family of curves $\mathcal{C}$ in the plane, its disjointness graph is the graph whose vertices correspond to the elements of $\mathcal{C}$, and two vertices are joined by an edge if and only if the corresponding sets are disjoint.…

A piece of a labelled graph $\Gamma$ defined by D. Gruber is a labelled path that embeds into $\Gamma$ in two essentially different ways. We prove that graphical $Gr'(\frac{1}{6})$ small cancellation groups whose associated pieces have…

In this paper we are concerned with the conjecture that, for any set of generators S of the symmetric group of degree n, the word length in terms of S of every permutation is bounded above by a polynomial of n. We prove this conjecture for…

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…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

The aim of this small note is to prove an elementary yet useful properties of finitely presented groups. Let G be a finitely generated group with one end. Fix a (finite) generating set and let $B_n$ be the ball of radius $n$ around $e$. Let…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

Consider $k$-colorings of the complete tree of depth $\ell$ and branching factor $\Delta$. If we fix the coloring of the leaves, as $\ell$ tends to $\infty$, for what range of $k$ is the root uniformly distributed over all $k$ colors? This…

For all sufficiently large odd integers $n$, the following version of Higman's embedding theorem is proved in the variety ${\cal B}_n$ of all groups satisfying the identity $x^n=1$. A finitely generated group $G$ from ${\cal B}_n$ has a…

For a graph with edge ordering, a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of vertices by considering the edges as transpositions of endvertices. It is known from D\'enes' results that the permutation of a tree is a full cyclic…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group written additively with identity $0$, and $\Omega$ be an inverse closed generating subset of $G$ such that $0\notin \Omega$. We say that $ \Omega $ has the property \lq\lq{}$us$\rq\rq{} (unique summation),…

Let $\Gamma =(V,E)$ be a reflexive relation with a transitive automorphisms group. Let $v\in V$ and let $F$ be a finite subset of $V$ with $v\in F.$ We prove that the size of $\Gamma (F)$ (the image of $F$) is at least $$ |F|+ |\Gamma…

If $G$ is a finite group, then the spectrum $\omega(G)$ is the set of all element orders of $G$. The prime spectrum $\pi(G)$ is the set of all primes belonging to $\omega(G)$. A simple graph $\Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $\pi(G)$ and in…

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

We investigate the extent to which the $k$-coloring graph $\mathcal{C}_{k}(G)$ uniquely determines the base graph $G$ and the number of colors $k$. The vertices of $\mathcal{C}_{k}(G)$ are the proper $k$-colorings of $G$, and edges connect…
