Abstract

We present here a generalized construction of a finite solvable group whose prime character degree graph has the shape and structure of the bowtie graph. As with the original bowtie, the graphs obtained by this generalized construction, under certain restrictions, cannot be realized by the usual method of taking direct products of smaller graphs. Within the condition of $n=1$, we show how this recovers the original bowtie graph, which has five vertices. We also provide examples and explicit choices of primes which generate graphs with more vertices.

Prime-valent Symmetric Cayley Graphs of Characteristically Simple Groups

Let $\Ga$ be a connected prime-valent $X$-arc-transitive Cayley graph of a finite characteristically simple group $G\cong T^k$, where $k\geqslant2$. We obtain a precise structural characterization of such graphs and their arc-transitive automorphism groups. In the cubic case, every connected symmetric Cayley graph of $...

Annihilating-Ideal Graphs and Orthogonality Graphs over $\mathbb{F}_2$

We construct a family of finite local rings whose annihilating-ideal graphs are naturally described by orthogonality of subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$. For $n=4$ we determine the clique and chromatic numbers exactly and obtain \[ \omega(\AG(R_4))=5<6=\chi(\AG(R_4)). \] Thus $\AG(R_4)$ is not weakly perfect, and the Behb...

Iwasawa theory of (directed) Cayley graphs

In this article, we prove the Defect Conjecture for Cayley graphs of abelian groups, dihedral groups, and groups of the form $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} \rtimes \mathbb{Z}/(p-1)\mathbb{Z}$ where $p\geq 3$ is a prime. We also compute the Iwasawa invariants of the Bowen--Franks groups associated with these graphs in several...

The Partition of Paley Graphs into Petersen Graphs and a New Strongly Regular Graph with Parameters (50, 21, 8, 9)

This paper utilizes an extremely simple idea: in the multiplicative group of a finite field $F_q$, cosets of a certain subgroup are considered, and an attempt is made to combine these cosets into pairs such that the resulting induced subgraph in the corresponding Paley graph is strongly regular. It is shown that there...

Groups with a Fixed Character Degree: The General Case

We obtain arithmetic conditions which are satisfied by solvable groups admitting an abelian $\pi$-subgroup. First, we extend a previous characterization by removing the square-free hypothesis on some fixed irreducible character degree. We then show the same arithmetic conditions follow from a faithful action of an abel...

Composing group automorphisms with colour-preserving automorphisms of Cayley graphs

We show that if $\varphi$ is a colour-permuting automorphism of a connected, finite Cayley graph, and the order of the Cayley graph is either odd or square-free, then $\varphi$ is the composition of a group automorphism and a colour-preserving graph automorphism. Some analogous results are also established for isomorph...
