Diameters of Cayley Graphs

چکیده
We show that for integers k ≥ 2 and n ≥ 3, the diameter of the Cayley graph of SLn(Z/kZ) associated to a standard two-element generating set, is at most a constant times n 2 ln k. This answers a question of A. Lubotzky concerning SLn(Fp) and is unexpected because these Cayley graphs do not form an expander family. Our proof amounts to a quick algorithm for finding short words representing elements of SLn(Z/kZ).

On the eigenvalues of normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs
A graph $Gamma$ is said to be vertex-transitive or edge- transitive if the automorphism group of $Gamma$ acts transitively on $V(Gamma)$ or $E(Gamma)$, respectively. Let $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ be a Cayley graph on $G$ relative to $S$. Then, $Gamma$ is said to be normal edge-transitive, if $N_{Aut(Gamma)}(G)$ acts transitively on edges. In this paper, the eigenvalues of normal edge-tra...
متن کاملCayley graphs of given degree and diameters 3, 4 and 5
Let Cd,k be the largest number of vertices in a Cayley graph of degree d and diameter k. We show that Cd,3 ≥ 3 16(d − 3) 3 and Cd,5 ≥ 25(d−7 4 ) 5 for any d ≥ 8, and Cd,4 ≥ 32(d−8 5 ) 4 for any d ≥ 10. For sufficiently large d our graphs are the largest known Cayley graphs of degree d and diameters 3, 4 and 5.
متن کاملOn the distance eigenvalues of Cayley graphs
In this paper, we determine the distance matrix and its characteristic polynomial of a Cayley graph over a group G in terms of irreducible representations of G. We give exact formulas for n-prisms, hexagonal torus network and cubic Cayley graphs over abelian groups. We construct an innite family of distance integral Cayley graphs. Also we prove that a nite abelian group G admits a connected...
متن کاملComputing Wiener and hyper–Wiener indices of unitary Cayley graphs
The unitary Cayley graph Xn has vertex set Zn = {0, 1,…, n-1} and vertices u and v are adjacent, if gcd(uv, n) = 1. In [A. Ilić, The energy of unitary Cayley graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 431 (2009) 1881–1889], the energy of unitary Cayley graphs is computed. In this paper the Wiener and hyperWiener index of Xn is computed.
متن کاملProduct of normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs
For two normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs on groups H and K which have no common direct factor and $gcd(|H/H^prime|,|Z(K)|)=1=gcd(|K/K^prime|,|Z(H)|)$, we consider four standard products of them and it is proved that only tensor product of factors can be normal edge-transitive.
متن کاملOn the eigenvalues of Cayley graphs on generalized dihedral groups
Let $Gamma$ be a graph with adjacency eigenvalues $lambda_1leqlambda_2leqldotsleqlambda_n$. Then the energy of $Gamma$, a concept defined in 1978 by Gutman, is defined as $mathcal{E}(G)=sum_{i=1}^n|lambda_i|$. Also the Estrada index of $Gamma$, which is defined in 2000 by Ernesto Estrada, is defined as $EE(Gamma)=sum_{i=1}^ne^{lambda_i}$. In this paper, we compute the eigen...
