In this note, we define a new graph $\Gamma_d(G)$ on a finite group $G$, where $d$ is a divisor of $|G|$. The vertices of $\Gamma_d(G)$ are the subgroups of $G$ of order $d$ and two subgroups $H_1$ and $H_2$ of $G$ are said to be adjacent…

We consider a 2-homogeneous bipartite distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter $D \geq 3$. We assume that $\Gamma$ is not a hypercube nor a cycle. We fix a $Q$-polynomial ordering of the primitive idempotents of $\Gamma$. This…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and let $\Gamma(G)$ be the prime graph of $G$. This graph has vertex set $\pi(G)$, and two vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $G$ contains an…

For a finite group $G$, the vertices of the prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ are the primes that divide $|G|$, and two vertices $p$ and $q$ are connected by an edge if and only if there is an element of order $pq$ in $G$. Prime graphs of solvable…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, undirected, connected graph, with vertex set $X$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$. Associated with $x$ is a certain subalgebra $T=T(x)$ of ${\rm Mat}_X(\mathbb C)$, called the subconstituent algebra. The algebra $T$ is…

We develop a new framework for analysing finite connected, oriented graphs of valency 4, which admit a vertex-transitive and edge-transitive group of automorphisms preserving the edge orientation. We identify a sub-family of "basic" graphs…

Let $\Gamma$ be a simple connect graph on a finite vertex set $V$ and let $A$ be its adjacency matrix. Then $\Gamma$ is said to be \textit{singular} if and only if $0$ is an eigenvalue of $A.$ The \textit{nullity (singularity)} of $\Gamma,$…

The parameter $q(G)$ of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues over the family of symmetric matrices described by $G$. We show that all $G$ with $e(\overline{G}) = |E(\overline{G})| \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor…

Assume that $G$ is a finite group. For every $a, b \in\mathbb N,$ we define a graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_b)$ are adjacent if…

Let \( G \) be a finite non-cyclic group. Define \( \mathrm{Cyc}(G) \) as the set of all elements \( a \in G \) such that for any $b\in G$, the subgroup \( \langle a, b \rangle \) is cyclic. The \emph{non-cyclic graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of \( G…

A finite, simple and undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $p$ vertices and $q$ edges is said to be a $k$-geometric mean graph for a positive integer $k$ if there is an injection $\psi :V(G)\to \{k,k+1,\dots,k+q\}$ such that, when each edge…

Suppose $X$ is a simple graph. The $X-$join $\Gamma$ of a set of complete or empty graphs $\{X_x \}_{x \in V(X)}$ is a simple graph with the following vertex and edge sets: \begin{eqnarray*} V(\Gamma) &=& \{(x,y) \ | \ x \in V(X) \ \& \ y…

A graph is edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the edge set. In this paper, we investigate the automorphism groups of edge-transitive graphs of odd order and twice prime valency. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected graph…
