چکیده

A graph G is said to be hom-idempotent if there is a homomorphism from G2 to G, and weakly hom-idempotent if for some n ≥ 1 there is a homomorphism from Gn+1 to Gn . We characterize both classes of graphs in terms of a special class of Cayley graphs called normal Cayley graphs. This allows us to construct, for any integer n, a Cayley graph G such that Gn+1 → Gn 6→ Gn−1, answering a question of Hahn, Hell and Poljak [8]. Also, we show that the Kneser graphs are not weakly hom-idempotent, generalizing a result of Albertson and Collins [1] for the Petersen graph.

On the eigenvalues of normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs

A graph $Gamma$ is said to be vertex-transitive or edge‎- ‎transitive‎ ‎if the automorphism group of $Gamma$ acts transitively on $V(Gamma)$ or $E(Gamma)$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎Let $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ be a Cayley graph on $G$ relative to $S$‎. ‎Then, $Gamma$ is said to be normal edge-transitive‎, ‎if $N_{Aut(Gamma)}(G)$ acts transitively on edges‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎the eigenvalues of normal edge-tra...

Product of normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs

For two normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs on groups H and K which have no common direct factor and $gcd(|H/H^prime|,|Z(K)|)=1=gcd(|K/K^prime|,|Z(H)|)$, we consider four standard products of them and it is proved that only tensor product of factors can be normal edge-transitive.

NORMAL 6-VALENT CAYLEY GRAPHS OF ABELIAN GROUPS

Abstract : We call a Cayley graph Γ = Cay (G, S) normal for G, if the right regular representation R(G) of G is normal in the full automorphism group of Aut(Γ). In this paper, a classification of all non-normal Cayley graphs of finite abelian group with valency 6 was presented.

COMPUTING THE EIGENVALUES OF CAYLEY GRAPHS OF ORDER p2q

A graph is called symmetric if its full automorphism group acts transitively on the set of arcs. The Cayley graph $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ on group $G$ is said to be normal symmetric if $N_A(R(G))=R(G)rtimes Aut(G,S)$ acts transitively on the set of arcs of $Gamma$. In this paper, we classify all connected tetravalent normal symmetric Cayley graphs of order $p^2q$ where $p>q$ are prime numbers.

Shifts of the stable Kneser graphs and hom-idempotence

A graph G is said to be hom-idempotent if there is a homomorphism from G2 to G, and weakly hom-idempotent if for some n ≥ 1 there is a homomorphism from Gn+1 to Gn. Larose et al. (1998) proved that Kneser graphs KG(n, k) are not weakly hom-idempotent for n ≥ 2k + 1, k ≥ 2. For s ≥ 2, we characterize all the shifts (i.e., automorphisms of the graph that map every vertex to one of its neighbors) ...
