On 2-switches and isomorphism classes
A 2-switch is an edge addition/deletion operation that changes adjacencies in
the graph while preserving the degree of each vertex. A well known result
states that graphs with the same degree sequence may be changed into each other
via sequences of 2-switches. We show that if a 2-switch changes the isomorphism
class of a graph, then it must take place in one of four configurations. We
also present a sufficient condition for a 2-switch to change the isomorphism
class of a graph. As consequences, we give a new characterization of matrogenic
graphs and determine the largest hereditary graph family whose members are all
the unique realizations (up to isomorphism) of their respective degree
sequences.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
Geometrical characterization of semilinear isomorphisms of vector spaces and semilinear homeomorphisms of normed spaces
Let and be vector spaces over division rings (possible
infinite-dimensional) and let and be the
associated projective spaces. We say that is a PGL-{\it mapping} if for every there exists
such that . We show that for every PGL-bijection
the inverse mapping is a semicollineation. Also, we obtain an analogue of this
result for the projective spaces associated to normed spaces
Towards an Isomorphism Dichotomy for Hereditary Graph Classes
In this paper we resolve the complexity of the isomorphism problem on all but
finitely many of the graph classes characterized by two forbidden induced
subgraphs. To this end we develop new techniques applicable for the structural
and algorithmic analysis of graphs. First, we develop a methodology to show
isomorphism completeness of the isomorphism problem on graph classes by
providing a general framework unifying various reduction techniques. Second, we
generalize the concept of the modular decomposition to colored graphs, allowing
for non-standard decompositions. We show that, given a suitable decomposition
functor, the graph isomorphism problem reduces to checking isomorphism of
colored prime graphs. Third, we extend the techniques of bounded color valence
and hypergraph isomorphism on hypergraphs of bounded color size as follows. We
say a colored graph has generalized color valence at most k if, after removing
all vertices in color classes of size at most k, for each color class C every
vertex has at most k neighbors in C or at most k non-neighbors in C. We show
that isomorphism of graphs of bounded generalized color valence can be solved
in polynomial time.Comment: 37 pages, 4 figure

An "almost" full embedding of the category of graphs into the category of groups
We construct a functor from the category of graphs to the category of groups
which is faithful and "almost" full, in the sense that it induces bijections of
the Hom sets up to trivial homomorphisms and conjugation in the category of
groups.
We provide several applications of this construction to localizations (i.e.
idempotent functors) in the category of groups and the homotopy category.Comment: 24 pages; to appear in Adv. Math
