    Distinguishing Chromatic Number of Random Cayley graphs

    Full text link
    The \textit{Distinguishing Chromatic Number} of a graph GG, denoted χD(G)\chi_D(G), was first defined in \cite{collins} as the minimum number of colors needed to properly color GG such that no non-trivial automorphism ϕ\phi of the graph GG fixes each color class of GG. In this paper, we consider random Cayley graphs Γ(A,S)\Gamma(A,S) defined over certain abelian groups AA and show that with probability at least 1nΩ(logn)1-n^{-\Omega(\log n)} we have, χD(Γ)χ(Γ)+1\chi_D(\Gamma)\le\chi(\Gamma) + 1.Comment: 11 page

    Automorphisms of Cayley graphs on generalised dicyclic groups

    Full text link
    A graph is called a GRR if its automorphism group acts regularly on its vertex-set. Such a graph is necessarily a Cayley graph. Godsil has shown that there are only two infinite families of finite groups that do not admit GRRs : abelian groups and generalised dicyclic groups. Indeed, any Cayley graph on such a group admits specific additional graph automorphisms that depend only on the group. Recently, Dobson and the last two authors showed that almost all Cayley graphs on abelian groups admit no automorphisms other than these obvious necessary ones. In this paper, we prove the analogous result for Cayley graphs on the remaining family of exceptional groups: generalised dicyclic groups.Comment: 18 page

    Full automorphism group of commuting and non-commuting graph of dihedral and symmetric groups

    Get PDF
    An automorphism of finite graph G is a permutation on its vertex set that conserves adjacency. The set of all automorphism of G is a group under composition of function. This group is called the full automorphism group of G. Study on the full automorphism group is an interesting topic because most graphs have only the trivial automorphism and many special graphs have many automorphisms. One of the special graphs is graph that associated with group. The result of this paper is the full automorphism groups of commuting and non-commuting graph of non-abelian finite group, especially on dihedral and symmetric groups, according to the choice of their subgroups

    Asymptotic automorphism groups of Cayley digraphs and graphs of abelian groups of prime-power order

    We show that almost every Cayley graph ▫GammaGamma▫ of an abelian group ▫GG▫ of odd prime-power order has automorphism group as small as possible. Additionally, we show that almost every Cayley (di)graph ▫GammaGamma▫ of an abelian group ▫GG▫ of odd prime-power order that does not have automorphism group as small as possible is a normal Cayley (di)graph of ▫GG▫ (that is, ▫GLtriangleleftrmAut(Gamma))G_L triangleleft {rm Aut}(Gamma))
