On the Isomorphism Problem for Finite Cayley Graphs of Bounded Valency

چکیده
For a subset S of a group G such that 1 / ∈ S and S = S−1, the associated Cayley graph Cay(G, S) is the graph with vertex set G such that {x, y} is an edge if and only if yx−1 ∈ S. Each σ ∈ Aut(G) induces an isomorphism from Cay(G, S) to the Cayley graph Cay(G, Sσ ). For a positive integer m, the group G is called an m-CI-group if, for all Cayley subsets S of size at most m, whenever Cay(G, S) ∼= Cay(G, T ) there is an element σ ∈ Aut(G) such that Sσ = T . It is shown that if G is an m-CI-group for some m ≥ 4, then G = U × V , where (|U |, |V |) = 1, U is abelian, and V belongs to an explicitly determined list of groups. Moreover, Sylow subgroups of such groups satisfy some very restrictive conditions. This classification yields, as corollaries, improvements of results of Babai and Frankl. We note that our classification relies on the finite simple group classification.

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.
متن کاملFinite 1 - Regular Cayley Graphs of Valency 5
Let Γ = Cay(G, S) and G ≤ X ≤ AutΓ. We say Γ is (X, 1)-regular Cayley graph if X acts regularly on its arcs. Γ is said to be corefree if G is core-free in some X ≤ Aut(Cay(G, S)). In this paper, we prove that if an (X, 1)-regular Cayley graph of valency 5 is not normal or binormal, then it is the normal cover of one of two core-free ones up to isomorphism. In particular, there are no core-free ...
متن کاملIsomorphisms of Cayley graphs on nilpotent groups
Let S be a finite generating set of a torsion-free, nilpotent group G. We show that every automorphism of the Cayley graph Cay(G;S) is affine. (That is, every automorphism of the graph is obtained by composing a group automorphism with multiplication by an element of the group.) More generally, we show that if Cay(G1;S1) and Cay(G2;S2) are connected Cayley graphs of finite valency on two nilpot...
متن کاملOn the distance eigenvalues of Cayley graphs
In this paper, we determine the distance matrix and its characteristic polynomial of a Cayley graph over a group G in terms of irreducible representations of G. We give exact formulas for n-prisms, hexagonal torus network and cubic Cayley graphs over abelian groups. We construct an innite family of distance integral Cayley graphs. Also we prove that a nite abelian group G admits a connected...
متن کاملOn Groups all of whose Undirected Cayley Graphs of Bounded Valency are Integral
A finite group G is called Cayley integral if all undirected Cayley graphs over G are integral, i.e., all eigenvalues of the graphs are integers. The Cayley integral groups have been determined by Kloster and Sander in the abelian case, and by Abdollahi and Jazaeri, and independently by Ahmady, Bell and Mohar in the nonabelian case. In this paper we generalize this class of groups by introducin...
