The genus graphs have been studied by many authors, but just a few results concerning in special cases: Planar, Toroidal, Complete, Bipartite and Cartesian Product of Bipartite. We present here a general lower bound for the genus of a abelian Cayley graph and construct a family of circulant graphs which reach this bound.

We investigate the orientable genus of $G_n$, the cartesian product of $n$ triangles, with a particular attention paid to the two smallest unsolved cases $n=4$ and $5$. Using a lifting method we present a general construction of a low-genus embedding of $G_n$ using a low-genus embedding of $G_{n-1}$. Combining this method with a computer search and a careful analysis of face structure we show that $30\le \gamma(G_4) \le 37$ and $133 \le\gamma(G_5) \le 190$. Moreover, our computer search resulted in more than $1300$ non-isomorphic minimum-genus embeddings of $G_3$. We also introduce genus range of a group and (strong) symmetric genus range of a Cayley graph and of a group. The (strong) symmetric genus range of irredundant Cayley graphs of $Z_p^n$ is calculated for all odd primes $p$.

AbstractWe study local properties of the Bakry–Émery curvature function ${\mathcal{K}}_{G,x}:(0,\infty ]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ at a vertex $x$ of a graph $G$ systematically. Here ${\mathcal{K}}_{G,x}({\mathcal{N}})$ is defined as the optimal curvature lower bound ${\mathcal{K}}$ in the Bakry–Émery curvature-dimension inequality $CD({\mathcal{K}},{\mathcal{N}})$ that $x$ satisfies. We provide upper and lower bounds for the curvature functions, introduce fundamental concepts like curvature sharpness and $S^{1}$-out regularity, and relate the curvature functions of $G$ with various spectral properties of (weighted) graphs constructed from local structures of $G$. We prove that the curvature functions of the Cartesian product of two graphs $G_{1},G_{2}$ are equal to an abstract product of curvature functions of $G_{1},G_{2}$. We explore the curvature functions of Cayley graphs and many particular (families of) examples. We present various conjectures and construct an infinite increasing family of 6-regular graphs which satisfy $CD(0,\infty )$ but are not Cayley graphs.

Classes of circulant graphs play an important role in modeling interconnection networks in parallel and distributed computing. They also find applications in modeling quantum spin networks supporting the perfect state transfer. It has been noticed that unitary Cayley graphs as a class of circulant graphs possess many good properties such as small diameter, mirror symmetry, recursive structure, regularity, etc. and therefore can serve as a model for efficient interconnection networks. In this paper we go a step further and analyze some other characteristics of unitary Cayley graphs important for the modeling of a good interconnection network. We show that all unitary Cayley graphs are hamiltonian. More precisely, every unitary Cayley graph is hamiltonian-laceable (up to one exception for X6) if it is bipartite, and hamiltonianconnected if it is not. We prove this by presenting an explicit construction of hamiltonian paths on Xnm using the hamiltonian paths on Xn and Xm for gcd(n,m) = 1. Moreover, we also prove that every unitary Cayley graph is bipancyclic and every nonbipartite unitary Cayley graph is pancyclic.

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.

This paper is concerned with properties of the algebraic degree of the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of phase-type (PH) distributions. The main problem of interest is: given a PH generator, how do we find the maximum and the minimum algebraic degrees of all irreducible PH representations with that PH generator? Based on the matrix exponential (ME) order of ME distributions and the spectral polynomial algorithm, a method for computing the algebraic degree of a PH distribution is developed. The maximum algebraic degree is identified explicitly. Using Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matrices, a lower bound and an upper bound on the minimum algebraic degree are found, subject to some conditions. Explicit results are obtained for special cases.

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.

A quantum walk, \emph{i.e.}, the quantum evolution of a particle on a graph, is termed \emph{scalar} if the internal space of the moving particle (often called the coin) has dimension one. Here, we study the existence of scalar quantum walks on Cayley graphs, which are built from the generators of a group. After deriving a necessary condition on these generators for the existence of a scalar quantum walk, we present a general method to express the evolution operator of the walk, assuming homogeneity of the evolution. We use this necessary condition and the subsequent constructive method to investigate the existence of scalar quantum walks on Cayley graphs of groups presented with two or three generators. In this restricted framework, we classify all groups -- in terms of relations between their generators -- that admit scalar quantum walks, and we also derive the form of the most general evolution operator. Finally, we point out some interesting special cases, and extend our study to a few examples of Cayley graphs built with more than three generators.

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.
