We introduce a generalization of the zig-zag product of regular digraphs (directed graphs), which allows us to construct regular digraphs with m ore flexible choices of the degrees. In our generalization, we can control the connectivity of…
In this paper we investigate the connectedness and the isomorphism problems for zig-zag products of two graphs. A sufficient condition for the zig-zag product of two graphs to be connected is provided, reducing to the study of the…
The performance of codes defined from graphs depends on the expansion property of the underlying graph in a crucial way. Graph products, such as the zig-zag product and replacement product provide new infinite families of constant degree…
The main contribution of this work is a new type of graph product, which we call the {\it zig-zag product}. Taking a product of a large graph with a small graph, the resulting graph inherits (roughly) its size from the large one, its degree…
The thinness of a graph is a width parameter that generalizes some properties of interval graphs, which are exactly the graphs of thinness one. Many NP-complete problems can be solved in polynomial time for graphs with bounded thinness,…
The semidirect product of a finitely generated group dual with the symmetric group can be described through so-called group-theoretical categories of partitions (covers only a special case; due to Raum--Weber, 2015) and skew categories of…
In this paper we study the classifying spaces of graph products of simplicial groups and connected Hopf algebras over a field, and show that they can be uniformly treated under the framework of polyhedral products. It turns out that these…
We define graph products of families of pairs of groups and study the question when two such graph products are commensurable. As an application we prove linearity of certain graph products.
A surprising diversity of different products of hypergraphs have been discussed in the literature. Most of the hypergraph products can be viewed as generalizations of one of the four standard graph products. The most widely studied variant,…
Inspired by the definition of generalized wreath product of permutation groups, we define the generalized wreath product of graphs, containing the classical Cartesian and wreath product of graphs as particular cases. We prove that the…
We use the lens of Zappa--Sz\'ep decomposition to examine the relationship between directed graph products and $k$-graph products. There are many examples of higher-rank graphs, or $k$-graphs, whose underlying directed graph may be factored…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, an integer $k$, and a function $f_G:V^k \times V^k \to {0,1}$, the $k^{th}$ graph product of $G$ w.r.t $f_G$ is the graph with vertex set $V^k$, and an edge between two vertices $x=(x_1,...,x_k)$ and…
If a graded Lie algebra is the direct sum of two graded sub Lie algebras, its bracket can be written in a form that mimics a "double sided semidirect product". It is called the {\it knit product} of the two subalgebras then. The integrated…
We define a free product of connected simple graphs that is equivalent to several existing definitions when the graphs are vertex-transitive but differs otherwise. The new definition is designed for the automorphism group of the free…
It was recently proved that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path and a graph with bounded treewidth. This paper surveys generalisations of this result for graphs on surfaces, minor-closed classes, various…
We investigate Cayley graphs of graph products by showing that graph products with vertex groups that have isomorphic Cayley graphs yield isomorphic Cayley graphs.
We generalize the zig-zag product construction to produce infinite families of regular graphs of any constant degree. We analyze the second largest eigenvalue of this new zig-zag product to show that the modified zig-zag product of good…
The zigzag process is a variant of the telegraph process with position dependent switching intensities. A characterization of the $L^2$-spectrum for the generator of the one-dimensional zigzag process is obtained in the case where the…
We introduce and study, for a process P delivering edges on the Cartesian product of the vertex sets of a given set of graphs, the P-product of these graphs, thereby generalizing many types of product graph. Analogous to the notion of a…
We prove that graph products of sofic groups are sofic, as are graphs of groups for which vertex groups are sofic and edge groups are amenable.
