Let $\mathcal{S}_{n}$ be the symmetric group on $[n]=\{1, \ldots, n\}$. The $k$-point fixing graph $\mathcal{F}(n,k)$ is defined to be the graph with vertex set $\mathcal{S}_{n}$ and two vertices $g$, $h$ of $\mathcal{F}(n,k)$ are joined if…

We study the derangement graph $\Gamma_n$ whose vertex set consists of all permutations of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding permutations differ at every position. It is well-known that…

For any positive integer $n$ we describe the Leavitt path algebra of the Cayley graph $C_n$ corresponding to the cyclic group $\Z/n\Z$. Using a Kirchberg-Phillips-type realization result, we show that there are exactly four isomorphism…

We present some observations on a restricted variant of unitary Cayley graphs modulo n, and the implications for a decomposition of elements of symplectic operators over the integers modulo n. We define quadratic unitary Cayley graphs G_n,…

We study the unitary Cayley graph of a matrix semiring. We find bounds for its diameter, clique number and independence number, and determine its girth. We also find the relationship between the diameter and the clique number of a unitary…

We derive the polynomial representations for minimal relations of generating set of numerical semigroups R_n^k=<(n-1)^k,n^k,(n+1)^k>, k=2,3,4, n>2. We find also the polynomial representations for degrees of syzygies in the Hilbert series…

The unitary Cayley graph $C_R$ of a finite unital ring $R$ is the simple graph with vertex set $R$ in which two elements $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge if and only if $x-y$ is a unit of $R$. We characterize the unitary Cayley graph…
