Abstract:

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.

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...

On the nilpotency class of the automorphism group of some finite p-groups

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

The Automorphism Group over Finite Fields

It is shown that the invertible polynomial maps over a finite field Fq, if looked at as bijections Fq −→ Fq , give all possible bijections in case q = 2, or q = p where p > 2. In case q = 2 where r > 1 it is shown that the tame subgroup of the invertible polynomial maps give only the even bijections, i.e. only half the bijections. As a consequence it is shown that a set S ⊂ Fq can be a zero set...

The Automorphism Group of Commuting Graph of a Finite Group

Let G be a finite group and X be a union of conjugacy classes of G. Define C(G,X) to be the graph with vertex set X and x, y ∈ X (x 6= y) joined by an edge whenever they commute. In the case that X = G, this graph is named commuting graph of G, denoted by ∆(G). The aim of this paper is to study the automorphism group of the commuting graph. It is proved that Aut(∆(G)) is abelian if and only if ...

Quantum Automorphism Groups of Finite Graphs

We determine the quantum automorphism groups of finite graphs. These are quantum subgroups of the quantum permutation groups defined by Wang. The quantum automorphism group is a stronger invariant for finite graphs than the usual automorphism group. We get a quantum dihedral group D4.

The Automorphism Group of a Product of Graphs

In a recent paper we showed that every connected graph can be written as a weak cartesian product of a family of indecomposable rooted graphs and that this decomposition is unique to within isomorphisms. Using this unique prime factorization theorem we prove that if a graph X can be written as a product of connected rooted graphs, which are pairwise relatively prime, then the automorphism group...
