Maximum automorphism group for a 3-connected cubic graph
The following arose as a side issue in a project on graph reconstruction.
Problem: Let $a(n)$ be the greatest order of the automorphism group of a 3-connected cubic graph with $n$ vertices. Find a ...

Words Growth in Finite Groups
Let $G$ be a finite group with a set of generators and let $\Gamma$ be its Cayley Graph. Let $b_k$ be the number of elements in the ball of radius $k$. I am interested in what is known about the ...

Asymptotic dimension of graph families representing each finite group
Frucht's theorem says every finite group is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a simple graph $G$ (with no loops, multiple edges or directed edges).
There has been interest in finding classes of ...

Hamilton cycles in Cayley graphs: between Rapaport-Strasser and Fleischner
A well-known question of Rapaport-Strasser asks whether every finite connected Cayley graph has a Hamilton cycle. Fleischner's Theorem implies that if $S$ is the generating set of such a Cayley graph $...

Groups that can occur as graph automorphisms of a fixed size graph
From theorem $4$ and corollary $1$ in this book we have that graph isomorphism has to do with automorphism group of a graph. We also know every group is the automorphism group of a graph by Frucht's ...

Generating sets of the symmetric group that yield isomorphic Cayley graphs
Let $S$ and $S'$ be subsets of size $k$ of $\mathfrak{S}_n$.
Are there any necessary or sufficient conditions to determine whether or not $S$ and $S'$ yield isomorphic Cayley graphs?
Assuming we ...

G graph connections for finite groups G
In my research, I have seen G graph connections usually when G is a Lie group and the graph is the fatgraph of a (punctured) surface. This is usually in a physics context. However, I am curious to ...

Can a polytope with vertex-transitive edge graph or face lattice be made vertex-transitive?
Let $P\subset\Bbb R^d$ be a convex, full-dimensional polytope (convex hull of finitely many points, affine hull is the whole space), $G_P$ its edge graph and $\mathcal F_P$ its face lattice. Any of ...

Expander graphs with many 4-cycles
The question is not strictly well-defined. But it goes like this:
Could you find an infinite family of graphs $G_i$, that are all $\epsilon$-expanders, but have many 4-cycles?
$\epsilon$ should ...

About the eigenvectors of a matrix related to a Cayley graph
In some papers about the cayley graphs of finite groups the behaviour of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $\phi$ were discussed when $\phi=\sum_{g\in G} \lambda_G(g)$ and $\lambda_G(g)$ is defined ...

Classification of Automorphism set of a Regular graph
Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of an $r$-regular graph $G$ with $n$ vertices (Not complete or cycle graph) . Also, let $Aut(G)$ be the set of all its automorphisms (i.e. set of permutation matrices)....

What is $H^*(\mathbb{CP}^{2^N-1}/\Sigma_n;\mathbb{Z})$ when $N=\binom{n}{2}$?
$H^*((S^3)^N/\Sigma_n;\mathbb{Q})$ is computed here.
It makes a little more sense to compute $H^*((S^2)^N/\Sigma_n;\mathbb{Q})$ given that global phase is irrelevant. The proof is exactly the same.

Are these maps, associated to finite simple graphs, interesting?
Given a finite simple graph on $n$ vertices, say $G = (V,\, E)$, where
$$ V = \{ v_1, \ldots , \, v_n \} $$
and
$$ E \subseteq \{ (v_a, \, v_b) \, | \, 1 \leq a < b \leq n \},$$
does there exist a ...

A connection between nonplanar complete graphs and the alternating groups?

Isomorphism of finite groups and cycle graphs
Let $G$ and $H$ be finite groups and suppose they do have the same cycle graph. Is it possible to argue that this implies $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic? If yes, why? If not, is there an explicit ...

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 $n$. ...
