What are the efficient algorithms to compute Hamiltonian paths on Cayley graphs of finite groups ? Can GAP do it?
The famous Lovasz conjecture predicts existence of the Hamiltonian path on Cayley graphs. In general finding such a path is NP-complete problem, but there are many heuristic algorithms.
Question 1: ...

Short path problem on Cayley graphs as language translation task (from "Permutlandski" to "Cayleylandski"(s) :). Reference/suggestion request
Context: Algorithms to find short paths on Cayley graphs of (finite) groups are of some interest - see below.
There can be several approaches to that task. One of ideas coming to my mind - in some ...

What Cayley graphs arise as nodes+edges from "nice" polytopes and when are these polytopes convex?
The Permutohedron is a remarkable convex polytope in $R^n$, such that its nodes are indexed by permutations and edges correspond to the Cayley graph of $S_n$ with respect to the standard generators, i....

Diameter of the "Masterball-puzzle" permutation groups by a kind of Cartier-Foata enumeration?
There is an wonderful blog post by Jordan S. Ellenberg SHOULD YOU BE SURPRISED BY THE DIAMETER OF THE NXNXN RUBIK’S GROUP?. Which explains how one can come to $N^2log(N)$ estimate of the diameter of ...

Polynomials of growth for finite Heisenberg groups
Take a standard finite Heisenberg group with two standard generators and let's consider its growth polynomial - the polynomial which coefficients are equal to the sphere sizes.
For example for $H_3(Z/...

Distance distribution for Cayley graphs of the fintie Heisenberg groups H3(Z/nZ) approaches Gaussian for large "n"?
I wonder several questions about Cayley graphs of finite Heisenberg groups H3(Z/nZ).
Question 1: do we know the diameter dependence on "n", at least for the standard choice of generators ? ...

Perfect Cayley graphs for abelian groups have $\frac{n}{\omega}$ disjoint maximal cliques
Let $G$ be a perfect/ weakly perfect Cayley graph on an abelian group with respect to a symmetric generating set. In addition let the clique number be $\omega$ which divides the order of graph $n$. ...

Transposition Cayley graphs are planar
Consider the Cayley graph $G$ with vertex set the elements of the symmetric group $S_n$ and generating set the set of minimal transposition generators of the group $S_n$, that is the set $S=\{(12),(13)...

Diameter of Cayley graphs of finite simple groups
Babai, Kantor and Lubotzky proved in 1989 the following theorem (Sciencedirect link to article).
THEOREM 1.1. There is a constant $C$ such that every nonabelian finite simple group $G$ has a set $S$ ...

Growth functions of finite group - computation, typical behaviour, surveys?
Looking on the growth function for Rubik's group and symmetric group, one sees rather different behaviour:
Rubik's growth in LOG scale (see MO322877):
S_n n=9 growth and nice fit by normal ...
