We study the following conjecture of Matt DeVos: If there is a graph homomorphism from a Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(M, B)$ to another Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(M', B')$ then every graph with an $(M,B)$-flow has an $(M',B')$-flow. This conjecture was originally motivated by the flow-tension duality. We show that a natural strengthening of this conjecture does not hold in all cases but we conjecture that it still holds for an interesting subclass of them and we prove a partial result in this direction. We also show that the original conjecture implies the existence of an oriented cycle double cover with a small number of cycles.

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.

Abstract General K3 surfaces obtained as double covers of the n-th Hirzebruch surfaces with n = 0, 1, 4 are not double covers of other smooth surfaces. We give a criterion for such a K3 surface to be a double covering of another smooth rational surface based on the branch locus of double covers and fibre spaces of Hirzebruch surfaces.

A Cayley graph of a group G is called normal edge-transitive if the normalizer of the right representation of the group in the automorphism of the Cayley graph acts transitively on the set of edges of the graph. In this paper, we determine all connected normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs of the group U6n.

We construct a sequence of finite graphs that weakly converge to a Cayley graph, but there is no labelling of the edges that would converge to the corresponding Cayley diagram. A similar construction is used to give graph sequences that converge to the same limit, and such that a Hamiltonian cycle in one of them has a limit that is not approximable by any subgraph of the other. We give an example where this holds, but convergence is meant in a stronger sense. This is related to whether having a Hamiltonian cycle is a testable graph property.

In this paper, we introduce subgroup complementary addition Cayley graph [Formula: see text] and compute its graph invariants. Also, we prove that [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text].

A Cayley graph [Formula: see text] is called arc-transitive if its automorphism group [Formula: see text] is transitive on the set of arcs in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a characterization of cubic arc-transitive Cayley graphs on a class of Frobenius groups.

AbstractThe unitary Cayley graph of a ringR, denoted Γ(R), is the simple graph defined on all elements ofR, and where two verticesxandyare adjacent if and only ifx−yis a unit inR. The largest distance between all pairs of vertices of a graphGis called the diameter ofGand is denoted by diam(G). It is proved that for each integern≥ 1, there exists a ringRsuch that diam(Γ(R)) =n. We also show that diam(Γ(R)) ∊ {1, 2, 3,∞} for a ringRwithR/J(R) self-injective and classify all those rings with diam(Γ(R)) = 1, 2, 3, and ∞, respectively.

A Cayley graph [Formula: see text] is said to be core-free if [Formula: see text] is core-free in some [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. A graph [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-regular if [Formula: see text] acts regularly on its [Formula: see text]-arcs. It is shown in this paper that if [Formula: see text], then there exist no core-free tetravalent [Formula: see text]-regular Cayley graphs; and for [Formula: see text], every tetravalent [Formula: see text]-regular Cayley graph is a normal cover of one of the three known core-free graphs. In particular, a characterization of tetravalent [Formula: see text]-regular Cayley graphs is given.

We construct a 2-generated group $\Gamma $ such that its Cayley graph possesses finite connected subsets with arbitrarily large finite Heesch number. Thus we obtain an example of a Cayley graph with an infinite Heesch number.

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite, additive group, $S \subseteq \Gamma, 0\notin S, -S=\{-s: s\in S\}=S$. The undirected Cayley graph Cay$(\Gamma,S)$ has vertex set $\Gamma$ and edge set $\{\{a,b\}: a,b\in \Gamma$, $a-b \in S\}$. A graph is called integral, if all of its eigenvalues are integers. For an abelian group $\Gamma$ we show that Cay$(\Gamma,S)$ is integral, if $S$ belongs to the Boolean algebra $B(\Gamma)$ generated by the subgroups of $\Gamma$. The converse is proven for cyclic groups. A finite group $\Gamma$ is called Cayley integral, if every undirected Cayley graph over $\Gamma$ is integral. We determine all abelian Cayley integral groups.
