The automorphism group of the toroidal queen's graph

چکیده

Denote the n × n toroidal queen’s graph by Qn. We find its automorphism group Aut(Qn) for each positive integer n, showing that for n ≥ 6, Aut(Qn) is generated by the translations, the group of the square, the homotheties, and (for odd n) the automorphism (x, y) → (y + x, y − x). For each n we find the automorphism classes of edges of Qn, in particular showing that for n > 1, Qn is edge-transitive if and only if n is prime. We find the number of automorphism classes of regular solutions of the toroidal n-queens problem, generalizing work of Burger, Cockayne, and Mynhardt.

The automorphism group of the reduced complete-empty $X-$join of graphs

Suppose $X$ is a simple graph. The $X-$join $Gamma$ of a set ofcomplete or empty graphs ${X_x }_{x in V(X)}$ is a simple graph with the following vertex and edge sets:begin{eqnarray*}V(Gamma) &=& {(x,y) | x in V(X) & y inV(X_x) },\ E(Gamma) &=& {(x,y)(x^prime,y^prime) | xx^prime in E(X) or else x = x^prime & yy^prime in E(X_x)}.end{eqnarray*}The $X-$join graph $Gamma$ is said to be re...

Counting Non-Isomorphic Chord Diagrams

Different formulas counting families of non isomorphic chord diagrams are given : planar and toroidal ones and those of maximal genus. These formulas are obtained establishing results on the structure of the automorphism group of diagrams of a given genus.

THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF FINITE GRAPHS

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph with exactly n vertices and m edges. The aim of this paper is a new method for investigating nontriviality of the automorphism group of graphs. To do this, we prove that if |E| >=[(n - 1)2/2] then |Aut(G)|>1 and |Aut(G)| is even number.

Complete Rotations in Cayley

As it is introduced by Bermond, Prennes, and Kodate and by Fragopoulou and Akl, some Cayley graphs, including most popular models for intercon-nection networks, admit a special automorphism, called complete rotation. Such an automorphism is often used to derive algorithms or properties of the underlying graph. For example, some optimal gossiping algorithms can be easily designed by using a comp...

Locally toroidal polytopes and modular linear groups

When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group G (with string diagram) is reduced modulo the integer d ≥ 2, one obtains a finite group G which is often the automorphism group of an abstract regular polytope. Building on earlier work in the case that d is an odd prime, we here develop methods to handle composite moduli and completely describe the corresponding modular polyt...
