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

Strong simplicity of groups and vertex - transitive graphs
Magister Scientiae - MScIn the course of exploring various symmetries of vertex-transitive graphs, we introduce the concept of quasi-normal subgroups in groups. This is done since the symmetries of vertex-transitive graphs are intimately linked to those, fait accompli, of groups. With this, we ask if the concept of strongly simple groups has a place for consideration.South Afric
Isomorphism of graph classes related to the circular-ones property
We give a linear-time algorithm that checks for isomorphism between two 0-1
matrices that obey the circular-ones property. This algorithm leads to
linear-time isomorphism algorithms for related graph classes, including Helly
circular-arc graphs, \Gamma-circular-arc graphs, proper circular-arc graphs and
convex-round graphs.Comment: 25 pages, 9 figure
