Regularity and Planarity of Token Graphs

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $1\leq k< n$ be an integer. The $k$-token graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are all the $k$-subsets of $V$, two of which are adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in $G$. In this paper we characterize precisely, for each value of $k$, which graphs have a regular $k$-token graph and which connected graphs have a planar $k$-token graph.
