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.

Can the graph of a symmetric polytope have more symmetries than the polytope itself?
I consider convex polytopes $P\subseteq\Bbb R^d$ (convex hull of finitely many points) which are arc-transitive, i.e. where the automorphism group acts transitively on the 1-flags (incident vertex-edg …

Can we realize a graph as the skeleton of a polytope that has the same symmetries?
Given a graph $G$, a realization of $G$ as a polytope is a convex polytope $P\subseteq \Bbb R^n$ with $G$ as its 1-skeleton.
A realization $P\subseteq \Bbb R^n$ is said to realize the symmetries of …

Representations of the automorphism group of graphs via spectral graphs theory
Given a (simple) graph $G=(V,E)$ with $V=\{1,...,n\}$ and let $A$ be its adjacency matrix.
I am interested in the representation theory (over $\Bbb R$) of the automorphism group $\def\Aut{\mathrm{Aut …

Given the skeleton of an inscribed polytope. If I move the vertices so that no edge increase...
Let $P\subset \Bbb R^n$ be an inscribed convex polytope, that is, all its vertices are on a common sphere of radius $r$.
Let $G$ be the edge-graph of $P$. For convenience, assume $V(G)=\{1,\dotsc,s\}$ …

Is the face lattice of the cube a polytope graph?
The face lattice of a
convex polytope $P\subset\Bbb R^d$ is the partially ordered set whose elements are the faces of $P$ ordered by inclusion. We can turn it into a graph by considering its Hasse dia …

Is there a "simplest" way to embed a graph in 3-space?
I consider embeddings of graphs into 3-space with edges embedded as arbitrary curves. In the simplest (non-trivial) case the graph $G$ is a cycle or union of cycles, in which case the embeddings can a …

Do triple-linked graphs exist?
Lets say that a finite simple graph $G$ is (intrinsically) fully triple-linked if for each embedding of $G$ into $\Bbb R^3$ we can find three disjoint cycles $C_1,C_2,C_3\subset G$ whose embeddings ar …

Can two non-equivalent polytopes of same dimension have the same graph?
By a polytope I mean the convex hull of finitely many points. The graph of a polytope is the graph isomorphic to its 1-skeleton. By equivalence of polytopes I mean combinatorial equivalence, i.e. thei …

An eigenvalue upper bound for 1-walk-regular graphs
Let $G$ be a graph and suppose that $G$ is 1-walk-regular (or, if you prefer, vertex- and edge-transitive, or distance-regular).
Let $\theta_1>\theta_2>\cdots>\theta_m$ be the distinct eigenvalues of …

Embedding linklessly embeddable graphs without Borromean rings
A linklessly embeddable graph is a graph which can be embedded into $\Bbb R^3$ so that no two of its cycles are linked. For example, the Petersen graph is not such a graph.
Now, I can think of another …

How to construct 4-regular graphs with few Hamiltonian decompositions?
A Hamiltonian decomposition of a finite simple graph is a partition of its edge set so that each partition class forms a Hamiltonian cycle. This is only possible if the graph is $2k$-regular.
Interest …

A graph similar to the Bruhat graph, what is it called?
The weak Bruhat graph (or 1-skeleton of the permutohedron) $B_n$ can be constructed as follows:
the vertices of $B_n$ are the permutations of the tuple $(1,...,n)$, two are joined by an edge, if they …

When does the ΔY-family of a simple graph contain multigraphs?
Given a graph $G$, its ΔY-family is the smallest family of graphs that contains $G$ and is closed under ΔY- and YΔ-transformations.
Since YΔ-transformations can introduce multi-edges, the ΔY-family of …

Let $G$ be a 3-connected (simple) graph other than $K_4$. In Diestel's "Graph Theory" Section 3.2 we find
Lemma 3.2.2. There is an edge $e$ so that $G\mathbin{\dot-}e$ is still 3-connected (where $G\ …

Can a polytopal graph be "centrally symmetric" in more than one way?
Let $P,Q$ be two centrally symmetric convex polytopes, potentially of different dimensions and combinatorial type, but with the same edge-graph $G$.
The central symmetry of $P$ induces an involutory a …
