Applications of infinite graph theory

Finite graph theory abounds with applications inside mathematics itself, in computer science, and engineering. Therefore, I find it naturally to do research in graph theory and I also clearly see the ...

Does the hypergraph of subgroups determine a group?

A hypergraph is a pair $H=(V,E)$ where $V\neq \emptyset$ is a set and $E\subseteq{\cal P}(V)$ is a collection of subsets of $V$. We say two hypergraphs $H_i=(V_i, E_i)$ for $i=1,2$ are isomorphic if ...

Are there Hamilton paths in Cayley graphs of Coxeter groups?

Hi everyone. I want to optimize certain computation on finite Coxeter groups $(W,S)$. Basically I compute the matrices $\rho(T_w)$ for all $w\in W$ of a matrix representation $H\to K^{d\times d}$ of ...

Which 3-regular graphs are Schreier coset graphs?

Given a group $G$ and a subgroup $H$ the Schreier coset graph (w.r.t. some set $S$ of $G$) is the directed (and labelled) graph whose vertices are the cosets of $H$ (i.e. the set $G/H$) and $x \sim y$ ...

Is there a group whose cardinality counts non-intersecting paths?

Introduction Graphs are not only important combinatorial objects, but also related to many topological/algebraic structures. In this question I am going to talk about various group structures with ...

Infinite vertex-transitive graph where every automorphism has a fixed vertex

This is a follow-up to the question Connected vertex-transitive graph with the fixed-point property. In particular, it is based on a comment by user bof. Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph with $V$ infinite. ...

Diameter of the modified bubble-sort graph

The modified bubble-sort graph is the Cayley graph $Cay(S_n,S)$ of $S_n$ generated by $n$ cyclically adjacent transpositions. Thus $S = \{ (1,2),(2,3),\ldots,(n,1)\}$. I was wondering whether the ...

When is a Schreier coset graph vertex transitive

When is a Schreier Coset graph on a group $G$ with subgroup $H$ and symmetric generating set $S$(without identity) vertex transitive? It is well known that when $H$ is normal, the Schreier coset graph ...

(Connected) Cayley graphs of PSL(2,q) from (2,3,n)-triples

Let $G = PSL(2,q)$. I'm interested in the Cayley graphs of $G$ generated by triples $(A,BAB^{-1},B^{-1}AB)$, where $A, B \in G$ are elements of order $2, 3$ respectively: such a triple generates all ...

Complexity of computing the automorphism group of the subdivision of clique with leaves

Related to graph isomorphism. Consider the graph transformation $G$ to $G'$. Make a clique of $V(G)$ and subdivide each edge once, i.e. replace edge $(u,v)$ with path $(u,S_{uv},v)$. For all edges $(...
