چکیده

Let Rm be the (unique) universal homogeneous m-edge-coloured countable complete graph (m ≥ 2), and Gm its group of colourpreserving automorphisms. The group Gm was shown to be simple by John Truss. We examine the automorphism group of Gm, and show that it is the group of permutations of Rm which induce permutations on the colours, and hence an extension of Gm by the symmetric group of degree m. We show further that the extension splits if and only if m is odd, and in the case where m is even and not divisible by 8 we find the smallest supplement for Gm in its automorphism group.

On Symmetry of Some Nano Structures

It is necessary to generate the automorphism group of a chemical graph in computer-aided structure elucidation. An Euclidean graph associated with a molecule is defined by a weighted graph with adjacency matrix M = [dij], where for i≠j, dij is the Euclidean distance between the nuclei i and j. In this matrix dii can be taken as zero if all the nuclei are equivalent. Otherwise, one may introduce...

On the Reconstruction of K0-categorical Structures from Their Automorphism Groups

A structure M has no algebraicity if, for every finite A ^ \M\ and a e \M\ A, a is not algebraic over A. Let K be the class of K0-categorical structures without algebraicity, and M e K. The structure M is group-categorical in K if for every N e K the following holds: if Aut(/V) = Aut(M), then the permutation groups (Aut(jV), N) and (Aut(M), M) are isomorphic. We prove a theorem stating that if ...

The automorphism group of the reduced complete-empty $X-$join of graphs

Suppose $X$ is a simple graph. The $X-$join $Gamma$ of a set ofcomplete or empty graphs ${X_x }_{x in V(X)}$ is a simple graph with the following vertex and edge sets:begin{eqnarray*}V(Gamma) &=& {(x,y) | x in V(X) & y inV(X_x) },\ E(Gamma) &=& {(x,y)(x^prime,y^prime) | xx^prime in E(X) or else x = x^prime & yy^prime in E(X_x)}.end{eqnarray*}The $X-$join graph $Gamma$ is said to be re...

THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF FINITE GRAPHS

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph with exactly n vertices and m edges. The aim of this paper is a new method for investigating nontriviality of the automorphism group of graphs. To do this, we prove that if |E| >=[(n - 1)2/2] then |Aut(G)|>1 and |Aut(G)| is even number.
