Questions about the branch of combinatorics called graph theory (not to be used for questions concerning the graph of a function). This tag can be further specialized via using it in combination with more specialized tags such as extremal-graph-theory, spectral-graph-theory, algebraic-graph-theory, topological-graph-theory, random-graphs, graph-colorings and several others.

Name for algebra and its tensor products
Is there a name for the algebra (and its tensor products) given by generators $M_{j}$, $j \in \mathbb{Z}_{n}$ under the conditions $$M_{j} = (1 - M_{j-1})(1-M_{j+1})$$ where $j=1\implies j-1=n$ and $ …
