چکیده

Unitary graphs are arc-transitive graphs with vertices the flags of Hermitian unitals and edges defined by certain elements of the underlying finite fields. They played a significant role in a recent classification of a class of arc-transitive graphs that admit an automorphism group acting imprimitively on the vertices. In this article, we prove that all unitary graphs are connected of diameter two and girth three. Based on this, we obtain, for any prime power q > 2, a lower bound of order O( 5/3) on the maximum number of vertices in an arc-transitive graph of degree = q(q2 − 1) and diameter two.

Computing Wiener and hyper–Wiener indices of unitary Cayley graphs

The unitary Cayley graph Xn has vertex set Zn = {0, 1,…, n-1} and vertices u and v are adjacent, if gcd(uv, n) = 1. In [A. Ilić, The energy of unitary Cayley graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 431 (2009) 1881–1889], the energy of unitary Cayley graphs is computed. In this paper the Wiener and hyperWiener index of Xn is computed.

ON THE REFINEMENT OF THE UNIT AND UNITARY CAYLEY GRAPHS OF RINGS

Let $R$ be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with nonzero identity. We define $Gamma(R)$ to be the graph with vertex set $R$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if there exist unit elements $u,v$ of $R$ such that $x+uyv$ is a unit of $R$. In this paper, basic properties of $Gamma(R)$ are studied. We investigate connectivity and the girth of $Gamma(R)$, where $...

Unitary graphs and classification of a family of symmetric graphs with complete quotients

A finite graph Γ is called G-symmetric if G is a group of automorphisms of Γ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of Γ. We study a family of symmetric graphs, called the unitary graphs, whose vertices are flags of the Hermitian unital and whose adjacency relations are determined by certain elements of the underlying finite fields. Such graphs admit the unitary gr...

Eigenspaces of Hamming graphs and unitary Cayley graphs

In this work, the eigenspaces of unitary Cayley graphs and certain Hamming graphs are considered. It is shown that these graph classes are closely related and admit particularly simple eigenspace bases for all eigenvalues, namely bases containing vectors only with entries from the set {0, 1,−1}. A direct consequence is that the considered graph classes are integral.
