On highly regular strongly regular graphs
In this paper we unify several existing regularity conditions for graphs,
including strong regularity, -isoregularity, and the -vertex condition.
We develop an algebraic composition/decomposition theory of regularity
conditions. Using our theoretical results we show that a family of non rank 3
graphs known to satisfy the -vertex condition fulfills an even stronger
condition, -regularity (the notion is defined in the text). Derived from
this family we obtain a new infinite family of non rank strongly regular
graphs satisfying the -vertex condition. This strengthens and generalizes
previous results by Reichard.Comment: 29 page
Distance-regular graphs
This is a survey of distance-regular graphs. We present an introduction to
distance-regular graphs for the reader who is unfamiliar with the subject, and
then give an overview of some developments in the area of distance-regular
graphs since the monograph 'BCN' [Brouwer, A.E., Cohen, A.M., Neumaier, A.,
Distance-Regular Graphs, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1989] was written.Comment: 156 page
Strongly regular graphs satisfying the 4-vertex condition
We survey the area of strongly regular graphs satisfying the 4-vertex
condition and find several new families. We describe a switching operation on
collinearity graphs of polar spaces that produces cospectral graphs. The
obtained graphs satisfy the 4-vertex condition if the original graph belongs to
a symplectic polar space.Comment: 19 page
Multicoloured Random Graphs: Constructions and Symmetry
This is a research monograph on constructions of and group actions on
countable homogeneous graphs, concentrating particularly on the simple random
graph and its edge-coloured variants. We study various aspects of the graphs,
but the emphasis is on understanding those groups that are supported by these
graphs together with links with other structures such as lattices, topologies
and filters, rings and algebras, metric spaces, sets and models, Moufang loops
and monoids. The large amount of background material included serves as an
introduction to the theories that are used to produce the new results. The
large number of references should help in making this a resource for anyone
interested in beginning research in this or allied fields.Comment: Index added in v2. This is the first of 3 documents; the other 2 will
