The Spectra of Arrangement Graphs
Abstract
Arrangement graphs were introduced for their connection to computational networks and have since generated considerable interest in the literature. In a pair of recent articles by Chen, Ghorbani and Wong, the eigenvalues for the adjacency matrix of an (n,k)-arrangement graph are studied and shown to be integers. In this manuscript, we consider the adjaceny matrix directly in terms of the representation theory for the symmetric group. Our point of view yields a simple proof for an explicit fomula of the associated spectrum in terms of the characters of irreducibile representations evaluated on transpositions. As an application we prove a conjecture raised by Chen, Ghorbani and Wong.
