Let $G$ be a (finite or infinite) group, and let $K_G = \mathrm{Cay} ( G;G \smallsetminus \{1\} )$ be the complete graph with vertex set $G$, considered as a Cayley graph of $G$. Being a Cayley graph, it has a natural edge-colouring by sets…

An automorphism $\alpha$ of a Cayley graph $Cay(G,S)$ of a group $G$ with connection set $S$ is color-preserving if $\alpha(g,gs) = (h,hs)$ or $(h,hs^{-1})$ for every edge $(g,gs)\in E(Cay(G,S))$. If every color-preserving automorphism of…

We determine two new infinite families of Cayley graphs that admit colour-preserving automorphisms that do not come from the group action. By definition, this means that these Cayley graphs fail to have the CCA (Cayley Colour Automorphism)…

These lecture notes provide an introduction to automorphism groups of graphs. Some special families of graphs are then discussed, especially the families of Cayley graphs generated by transposition sets.

In this paper, we begin by partitioning the edges (or arcs) of a circulant (di)graph according to which generator in the connection set leads to each edge. We then further refine the partition by subdividing any part that corresponds to an…

A Cayley graph on a group $G$ has a natural edge-colouring. We say that such a graph is CCA if every automorphism of the graph that preserves this edge-colouring is an element of the normaliser of the regular representation of $G$. A group…

We study the existence of periodic colorings and orientations in locally finite graphs. A coloring or orientation of a graph $G$ is periodic if the resulting colored or oriented graph is quasi-transitive, meaning that $V(G)$ has finitely…

This article studies automorphism groups of graph products of arbitrary groups. We completely characterise automorphisms that preserve the set of conjugacy classes of vertex groups as those automorphisms that can be decomposed as a product…

Cayley graphs are graphs on algebraic structures, typically groups or group-like structures. In this paper, we have obtained a few results on Cayley graphs on Cyclic groups, powers of cycles, Cayley graphs on some non-abelian groups, and…

Extending earlier results of Godsil and of Dobson and Malnic on Johnson graphs, we characterise those merged Johnson graphs $J=J(n,k)_I$ which are Cayley graphs, that is, which are connected and have a group of automorphisms acting…

Colouring problems arising from group-based constructions provide a natural link between combinatorics and algebra, particularly in the study of Cayley graphs and Latin squares. We introduce the notion of colouring bijections of finite…

We introduce the concept of alternate-edge-colourings for maps, and study highly symmetric examples of such maps. Edge-biregular maps of type $(k,l)$ occur as smooth normal quotients of a particular index two subgroup of $T_{k,l}$, the full…

We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…

We say that an edge colouring $c$ of a graph preserves an automorphism $\varphi$ if $\varphi$ maps each edge to an edge of the same colour. Otherwise, we say that $c$ breaks $\varphi$. We call an automorphism of a graph small if it moves…

These lecture notes are on automorphism groups of Cayley graphs and their applications to optimal fault-tolerance of some interconnection networks. We first give an introduction to automorphisms of graphs and an introduction to Cayley…

Let $R_m$ be the (unique) universal homogeneous $m$-edge-coloured countable complete graph ($m\ge2$), and $G_m$ its group of colour-preserving automorphisms. The group $G_m$ was shown to be simple by John Truss. We examine the automorphism…

For a graph G, we define a small automorphism as one that maps some vertex into its neighbour. We investigate the edge colourings of G that break every small automorphism of G. We show that such a colouring can be chosen from any set of…

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…

A graph is called a GRR if its automorphism group acts regularly on its vertex-set. Such a graph is necessarily a Cayley graph. Godsil has shown that there are only two infinite families of finite groups that do not admit GRRs : abelian…

These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…
