Distinguishing Infinite Graphs

چکیده
The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the least cardinal number א such that G has a labeling with א labels that is only preserved by the trivial automorphism. We show that the distinguishing number of the countable random graph is two, that tree-like graphs with not more than continuum many vertices have distinguishing number two, and determine the distinguishing number of many classes of infinite Cartesian products. For instance, D(Q ) = 2, where Q is the infinite hypercube of dimension .

The Distinguishing Index of Infinite Graphs
The distinguishing index D′(G) of a graph G is the least cardinal d such that G has an edge colouring with d colours that is only preserved by the trivial automorphism. This is similar to the notion of the distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G, which is defined with respect to vertex colourings. We derive several bounds for infinite graphs, in particular, we prove the general bound D′(G) 6 ∆(...
متن کاملDistinguishing homomorphisms of infinite graphs
We supply an upper bound on the distinguishing chromatic number of certain infinite graphs satisfying an adjacency property. Distinguishing proper n-colourings are generalized to the new notion of distinguishing homomorphisms. We prove that if a graph G satisfies the connected existentially closed property and admits a homomorphism to H, then it admits continuum-many distinguishing homomorphism...
متن کاملDistinguishability of Infinite Groups and Graphs
The distinguishing number of a group G acting faithfully on a set V is the least number of colors needed to color the elements of V so that no non-identity element of the group preserves the coloring. The distinguishing number of a graph is the distinguishing number of its automorphism group acting on its vertex set. A connected graph Γ is said to have connectivity 1 if there exists a vertex α ...
متن کاملInfinite Graphs with Finite 2-Distinguishing Cost
A graph G is said to be 2-distinguishable if there is a labeling of the vertices with two labels such that only the trivial automorphism preserves the labels. Call the minimum size of a label class in such a labeling of G the cost of 2-distinguishing G. Within the class of connected, locally finite, infinite graphs, we show that those with finite 2-distinguishing cost are precisely the graphs w...
متن کاملBounds for Distinguishing Invariants of Infinite Graphs
We consider infinite graphs. The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colours in a vertex colouring of G that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. An analogous invariant for edge colourings is called the distinguishing index, denoted by D′(G). We prove that D′(G) 6 D(G) + 1. For proper colourings, we study relevant invariants called the distinguishing chrom...
