Vertex Transitive Graph

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a family of connected graphs. A graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal{H}$-free if $G$ does not contain any members of $\mathcal{H}$ as an induced subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{H})$ be the family of connected $\mathcal{H}$-free graphs. In this context, the members of $\mathcal{H}$ are called forbidden subgraphs.In this paper, we focus on two pairs of forbidden subgraphs containing a common graph, and compare the classes of graphs satisfying each of the two forbidden subgraph conditions. Our main result is the following: Let $H_{1},H_{2},H_{3}$ be connected graphs of order at least three, and suppose that $H_{1}$ is twin-less. If the symmetric difference of $\mathcal{F}(\{H_{1},H_{2}\})$ and $\mathcal{F}(\{H_{1},H_{3}\})$ is finite and the tuple $(H_{1};H_{2},H_{3})$ is non-trivial in a sense, then $H_{2}$ and $H_{3}$ are obtained from the same vertex-transitive graph by successively replacing a vertex with a clique and joining the neighbors of the original vertex and the clique. Furthermore, we refine a result in [Combin. Probab. Comput. 22 (2013) 733–748] concerning forbidden pairs.

The Relationship

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a set of connected graphs. A graph G is said to be $\mathcal{H}$-free if G does not contain any element of $\mathcal{H}$ as an induced subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}_{k}(\mathcal{H})$ be the set of k-connected $\mathcal{H}$-free graphs. When we study the relationship between forbidden subgraphs and a certain graph property, we often allow a finite exceptional set of graphs. But if the symmetric difference of $\mathcal{F}_{k}(\mathcal{H}_{1})$ and $\mathcal{F}_{k}(\mathcal{H}_{2})$ is finite and we allow a finite number of exceptions, no graph property can distinguish them. Motivated by this observation, we study when we obtain a finite symmetric difference. In this paper, our main aim is the following. If $|\mathcal{H}|\leq 3$ and the symmetric difference of $\mathcal{F}_{1}(\{H\})$ and $\mathcal{F}_{1}(\mathcal{H})$ is finite, then either $H\in \mathcal{H}$ or $|\mathcal{H}|=3$ and H=C3. Furthermore, we prove that if the symmetric difference of $\mathcal{F}_{k}(\{H_{1}\})$ and $\mathcal{F}_{k}(\{H_{2}\})$ is finite, then H1=H2.

Two Alternatives

AbstractThe core of a graph Γ is the smallest graph Δ that is homomorphically equivalent to Γ (that is, there exist homomorphisms in both directions). The core of Γ is unique up to isomorphism and is an induced subgraph of Γ. We give a construction in some sense dual to the core. The hull of a graph Γ is a graph containing Γ as a spanning subgraph, admitting all the endomorphisms of Γ, and having as core a complete graph of the same order as the core of Γ. This construction is related to the notion of a synchronizing permutation group, which arises in semigroup theory; we provide some more insight by characterizing these permutation groups in terms of graphs. It is known that the core of a vertex-transitive graph is vertex-transitive. In some cases we can make stronger statements: for example, if Γ is a non-edge-transitive graph, we show that either the core of Γ is complete, or Γ is its own core. Rank-three graphs are non-edge-transitive. We examine some families of these to decide which of the two alternatives for the core actually holds. We will see that this question is very difficult, being equivalent in some cases to unsolved questions in finite geometry (for example, about spreads, ovoids and partitions into ovoids in polar spaces).

Abstract Does every $n$-vertex Cayley graph have an orthonormal eigenbasis all of whose coordinates are $O(1/\sqrt{n})$? While the answer is yes for abelian groups, we show that it is no in general. On the other hand, we show that every $n$-vertex Cayley graph (and more generally, vertex-transitive graph) has an orthonormal basis whose coordinates are all $O(\sqrt{\log n / n})$, and that this bound is nearly best possible. Our investigation is motivated by a question of Assaf Naor, who proved that random abelian Cayley graphs are small-set expanders, extending a classic result of Alon–Roichman. His proof relies on the existence of a bounded eigenbasis for abelian Cayley graphs, which we now know cannot hold for general groups. On the other hand, we navigate around this obstruction and extend Naor’s result to nonabelian groups.

AbstractMotivated by several conjectures due to Nikoghosyan, in a recent article due to Li et al., the aim was to characterize all possible graphs H such that every 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian. The almost complete answer was given there by the conclusion that every proper induced subgraph H of $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 can act as a forbidden subgraph to ensure that every 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian, and that there is no other forbidden subgraph with this property, except possibly for the graph $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 itself. The hamiltonicity of 1-tough $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 -free graphs, as conjectured by Nikoghosyan, was left there as an open case. In this paper, we consider the stronger property of pancyclicity under the same condition. We find that the results are completely analogous to the hamiltonian case: every graph H such that any 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian also ensures that every 1-tough H-free graph is pancyclic, except for a few specific classes of graphs. Moreover, there is no other forbidden subgraph having this property. With respect to the open case for hamiltonicity of 1-tough $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 -free graphs we give infinite families of graphs that are not pancyclic.

A 2-distance-primitive graph is a vertex-transitive graph whose vertex stabilizer is primitive on both the first step and the second step neighborhoods. Let $\Gamma$ be such a graph. This paper shows that either $\Gamma$ is a cyclic graph, or $\Gamma$ is a complete bipartite graph, or $\Gamma$ has girth at most $4$ and the vertex stabilizer acts faithfully on both the first step and the second step neighborhoods. Also a complete classification is given of such graphs  satisfying that the vertex stabilizer acts $2$-transitively on the second step neighborhood. Finally, we determine the unique 2-distance-primitive graph which is  locally cyclic.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove that the maximal order of a semiregular element in the automorphism group of a cubic vertex-transitive graph Γ does not tend to infinity as the number of vertices of Γ tends to infinity. This gives a solution (in the negative) to a conjecture of Peter Cameron, John Sheehan and the author [4, conjecture 2].However, with an application of the positive solution of the restricted Burnside problem, we show that this conjecture holds true when Γ is either a Cayley graph or an arc-transitive graph.

We prove bounds on the chromatic number $\chi$ of a vertex-transitive graph in terms of its clique number $\omega$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. We conjecture that every vertex-transitive graph satisfies $\chi \le \max \{\omega, \left\lceil\frac{5\Delta + 3}{6}\right\rceil\}$, and we prove results supporting this conjecture. Finally, for vertex-transitive graphs with $\Delta \ge 13$ we prove the Borodin–Kostochka conjecture, i.e., $\chi\le\max\{\omega,\Delta-1\}$.
