چکیده

We prove that random d-regular Cayley graphs of the symmetric group asymptotically almost surely have girth at least (logd−1 |G|) /2 and that random d-regular Cayley graphs of simple algebraic groups over Fq asymptotically almost surely have girth at least logd−1 |G|/ dim(G). For the symmetric p-groups the girth is between log log |G| and (log |G|) with α < 1. Several conjectures and open questions are presented.

ON THE REFINEMENT OF THE UNIT AND UNITARY CAYLEY GRAPHS OF RINGS

Let $R$ be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with nonzero identity. We define $Gamma(R)$ to be the graph with vertex set $R$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if there exist unit elements $u,v$ of $R$ such that $x+uyv$ is a unit of $R$. In this paper, basic properties of $Gamma(R)$ are studied. We investigate connectivity and the girth of $Gamma(R)$, where $...

Non - Amenable Cayley Graphs of High Girth

In this note we show that percolation on non-amenable Cayley graphs of high girth has a phase of non-uniqueness, i.e., pc < pu . Furthermore, we show that percolation and self-avoiding walk on such graphs have mean-field critical exponents. In particular, the self-avoiding walk has positive speed.

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...

On 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...

On 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...
