It is known that a graph isomorphism testing algorithm is polynomially equivalent to a detecting of a graph non-trivial automorphism algorithm. The polynomiality of the latter algorithm, is obtained by consideration of symmetry properties…
The polycirculant conjecture asserts that every vertex-transitive digraph has a semiregular automorphism, that is, a nontrivial automorphism whose cycles all have the same length. In this paper we investigate the existence of semiregular…
An $H$-decomposition of a graph $\Gamma$ is a partition of its edge set into subgraphs isomorphic to $H$. A transitive decomposition is a special kind of $H$-decomposition that is highly symmetrical in the sense that the subgraphs (copies…
A $k$-orbit map is a map with its automorphism group partitioning the set of flags into $k$ orbits. Recently $k$-orbit maps were studied by Orbani\' c, Pellicer and Weiss, for $k \leq 4$. In this paper we use symmetry type graphs to extend…
Let $A$ be a finite group acting by automorphisms on the finite group $G$. We introduce the commuting graph $\Gamma (G,A)$ of this action and study some questions related to the structure of $G$ under certain graph theoretical conditions on…
A maniplex of rank n is a connected, n-valent, edge-coloured graph that generalises abstract polytopes and maps. If the automorphism group of a maniplex M partitions the vertex-set of M into k distinct orbits, we say that M is a k-orbit…
A transitive decomposition of a graph is a partition of the edge set together with a group of automorphisms which transitively permutes the parts. In this paper we determine all transitive decompositions of the Johnson graphs such that the…
Dean conjectured three decades ago that every graph with minimum degree at least $k\ge 3$ contains a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$. While the conjecture has been verified for $k\in \{3,4\}$, it remains open for $k\ge 5$. A weaker…
A circulant (di)graph is a (di)graph on n vertices that admits a cyclic automorphism of order n. This paper provides a survey of the work that has been done on finding the automorphism groups of circulant (di)graphs, including the…
Given a henselian pair $(R, I)$ of commutative rings, we show that the relative $K$-theory and relative topological cyclic homology with finite coefficients are identified via the cyclotomic trace $K \to \mathrm{TC}$. This yields a…
We establish conditions for a permutation group generated by a single permutation of a prime power order to be an automorphism group of a graph or an edge-colored graph. This corrects and generalizes the results of the two papers on cyclic…
Given a natural number k and an orientable surface S of finite type, define the k-curve graph to be the graph with vertices corresponding to isotopy classes of essential simple closed curves on S and with edges corresponding to pairs of…
In this short note, we study the variation of orbital integrals, as traces on the group algebra $G$, under the deformation groupoid. We show that orbital integrals are continuous under the deformation. And we prove that the pairing between…
A detailed proof is given of a theorem describing the centraliser of a transitive permutation group, with applications to automorphism groups of objects in various categories of maps, hypermaps, dessins, polytopes and covering spaces, where…
Let $X$ be a finite set such that $|X|=n$, and let $k< n/2$. A group is $k$-homogeneous if it has only one orbit on the sets of size $k$. The aim of this paper is to prove some general results on permutation groups and then apply them to…
We classify the finite primitive permutation groups which have a cyclic subgroup with two orbits. This extends classical topics in permutation group theory, and has arithmetic consequences. By a theorem of C. L. Siegel, affine algebraic…
This paper discusses the permutations that are generated by rotating $k \times k$ blocks of squares in a union of overlapping $k \times (k+1)$ rectangles. It is found that the single-rotation parity constraints effectively determine the…
We consider the algebraic K-theory of a truncated polynomial algebra in several commuting variables, K(k[x_1, ..., x_n]/(x_1^a_1, ..., x_n^a_n)). This naturally leads to a new generalization of the big Witt vectors. If k is a perfect field…
In the paper, we first study the subgroup of $ K$-automorphisms of $K[x_1,\allowbreak \ldots,x_n]$ which commutes with a simple derivation of $K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We show that the subgroup of $ K$-automorphisms of $K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ which…
We consider the space of all representations of the commutator subgroup of a knot group into Z/p, p is prime. As proven by D. Silver and S. Williams, this space can be completely described by a finite oriented graph. We describe the lengths…
