Abstract

In this article, following [A.~Daneshgar, M.~Hejrati, M.~Madani, {\it On cylindrical graph construction and its applications}, EJC, 23(1) p1.29, 45, 2016] we study the spectra of symmetric cylindrical constructs, generalizing some well-known results on the spectra of a variety of graph products, graph subdivisions by V.~B.~Mnuhin (1980) and the spectra of GI-graphs (see [M.~Conder, T.~Pisanski, and A.~{Ž}itnik, {\it GI-graphs: a new class of graphs with many symmetries}, 40, 209--231 (2014)] and references therein). In particular, we show that for bsymmetric cylinders with no internal vertex the spectra is actually equal to the eigenvalues of a perturbation of the base, and using this, we study the spectra of sparsifications of complete graphs by tree-cylinders. We also, show that a specific version of this construction gives rise to a class of highly symmetric graphs as a generalization of Petersen and Coxeter graphs.

Adjunctions, Box Products, and Forcing Families

Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of any given bipartite graph in another graph of given density is asymptotically minimized by a random graph. For bipartite graphs containing a cycle, the forcing conjecture further asserts that asymptotic equality characterizes quasi-random graphs. We establish an adjoint identity for a general class of graph-substitution operators and use it to obtain Sidorenko and forcing results for balanced blow-ups, subdivisions, Cartesian products, and strong products.

On the Cost Number of Graphs with Determining Number Two

A distinguishing vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is a vertex coloring such that only the identity automorphism of $G$ preserves the coloring. A graph is $2$-distinguishable if it admits a distinguishing vertex coloring with two colors, and its cost $ρ(G)$ is the minimum size of a color class in such a coloring. The determining number of a graph $G$, denoted by $Det(G)$, is the minimum size of a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that only the trivial automorphism fixes every element of $S$ pointwise. Boutin (J. Combin. Math. Combin. Comput. 85: 161-171, 2013) asked if $ρ(G)$ and $Det(G)$ can be arbitrarily far apart. While the case for $Det(G) = 1$ is trivial, the answer remained unknown for $Det(G) \ge 2$. In this manuscript, we show that if $Det(G)=2$ then not only is $ρ(G)$ bounded, but in fact $ρ(G) \leq 4$. This is the first resolution of Boutin's question for any nontrivial fixed determining number. Moreover, for every fixed $Det(G)= n$, we construct examples giving a lower bound on any possible upper bound for $ρ(G)$ in terms of $n$.
