We investigate which finite Cayley graphs admit a quantum ergodic eigenbasis, proving that this holds for any Cayley graph on a group of size $n$ for which the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible representations is $o(n)$, yet there…

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…

Suppose G is a finite group, such that |G| = 16p, 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 this note we show that there is a cubic graph of girth $5$ that is not a subgraph of any minimal Cayley graph. On the other hand, we show that any Generalized Petersen Graph $G(n,k)$ with $\gcd(n,k)=1$ is an induced subgraph of a minimal…

The Pancake graphs $P_n, n\geqslant 2$, are Cayley graphs over the symmetric group $\mathrm{Sym}_n$ generated by prefix-reversals. There are six generating sets of prefix-reversals of cardinality three which give connected Cayley graphs…

We consider the family of undirected Cayley graphs associated with odd cyclic groups, and study statistics for the eigenvalues in their spectra. Our results are motivated by analogies between arithmetic geometry and graph theory.

Isomorphic factorizations of complete graphs originate from the seminal work of Frank Harary and collaborators, who initiated the systematic study of decompositions of complete graphs into pairwise isomorphic spanning subgraphs. In this…

In this paper, we present a method to obtain regular (or equitable) partitions of Cayley (di)graphs (that is, graphs, digraphs, or mixed graphs) of permutation groups on $n$ letters. We prove that every partition of the number $n$ gives…

This paper represents a significant leap forward in the problem of enumerating vertex-transitive graphs. Recent breakthroughs on symmetry of Cayley (di)graphs show that almost all finite Cayley (di)graphs have the smallest possible…

Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a graph. If all the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the graph $\Gamma$ are integers, then we say that $\Gamma$ is an integral graph. A graph $\Gamma$ is determined by its spectrum if every graph cospectral to it…

For a positive integer $k\ge 1$, a graph $G$ is $k$-stepwise irregular ($k$-SI graph) if the degrees of every pair of adjacent vertices differ by exactly $k$. Such graphs are necessarily bipartite. Using graph products it is demonstrated…

The family of generalized Paley graphs of prime power order $q$ and degree $(q-1)/k$ is studied. It is shown that the automorphism group of a graph in this family is a subgroup of ${\mathrm{A\Gamma L}}(1,q)$ whenever $q$ is sufficiently…

We consider the degree-diameter problem for Cayley graphs of dihedral groups. We find upper and lower bounds on the maximum number of vertices of such a graph with diameter 2 and degree $d$. We completely determine the asymptotic behaviour…

The problem of finding upper bounds for minimal vertex number of graphs with a given automorphism group is addressed in this article for the case of cyclic $2$-groups. We show that for any natural $n\ge 2$ there is an undirected graph…

We describe computational results about undirected graphs having $14$ vertices and automorphism group isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z}$, graphs $\Gamma$ which have less than $2|Aut(\Gamma)|$ vertices. We give one example of such…

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 consider the Cayley graph on the symmetric group Sn generated by derangements. It is well known that the eigenvalues of this grpah are indexed by partitions of n. We investigate how these eigenvalues are determined by the shape of their…

Let $n$, $k$ and $l$ be integers with $1\leq k<l\leq n-1$. The set-inclusion graph $G(n,k,l)$ is the graph whose vertex set consists of all $k$- and $l$-subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, where two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of…

In this note we prove that all connected Cayley graphs of every finite group $Q \times H$ are 1-factorizable, where $Q$ is any non-trivial group of 2-power order and $H$ is any group of odd order.

We present simple graph-theoretic characterizations of Cayley graphs for monoids, semigroups and groups. We extend these characterizations to commutative monoids, semilattices, and abelian groups.
