General preservers of quasi-commutativity on hermitian matrices
Gregor Dolinar, Bojan Kuzma, 2008, original scientific article

Abstract: Let ▫$H_n$▫ be the set of all ▫$n \times n$▫ hermitian matrices over ▫$\mathbb{C}$▫, ▫$n \ge 3$▫. It is said that ▫$A,B \in H_n$▫ quasi-commute if there exists a nonzero ▫$\xi \in \mathbb{C}$▫ such that ▫$AB = \xi BA$▫ Bijective not necessarily linear maps on hermitian matrices which preserve quasi-commutativity in both directions are classified.

Minimal normal subgroups of transitive permutation groups of square-free degree
Edward Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: It is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a transitive permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple and quasiprimitive, with three exceptions related to ▫$A_5$▫, ▫$A_7$▫, and PSL(2,29). Moreover, it is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a 2-closed permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple. As an almost immediate consequence, it follows that a 2-closed transitive permutation group of square-free degree contains a semiregular element of prime order, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs,Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the fifteenth British combinatorial conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).

Symmetry structure of bicirculants
Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Primož Šparl, Boštjan Frelih, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: An ▫$n$▫-bicirculant is a graph having an automorphism with two orbits of length ▫$n$▫ and no other orbits. Symmetry properties of ▫$p$▫-bicirculants, ▫$p$▫ a prime, are extensively studied. In particular, the actions of their automorphism groups are described in detail in terms of certain algebraic representation of such graphs.

On strongly regular bicirculants
Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Primož Šparl, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: An ▫$n$▫-bicirculantis a graph having an automorphism with two orbits of length ▫$n$▫ and no other orbits. This article deals with strongly regular bicirculants. It is known that for a nontrivial strongly regular ▫$n$▫-bicirculant, ▫$n$▫ odd, there exists a positive integer m such that ▫$n=2m^2+2m+1▫$. Only three nontrivial examples have been known previously, namely, for ▫$m=1,2$▫ and 4. Case ▫$m=1$▫ gives rise to the Petersen graph and its complement, while the graphs arising from cases ▫$m=2$▫ and ▫$m=4$▫ are associated with certain Steiner systems. Similarly, if ▫$n$▫ is even, then ▫$n=2m^2$▫ for some ▫$m \ge 2$▫. Apart from a pair of complementary strongly regular 8-bicirculants, no other example seems to be known. A necessary condition for the existence of a strongly regular vertex-transitive ▫$p$▫-bicirculant, ▫$p$▫ a prime, is obtained here. In addition, three new strongly regular bicirculants having 50, 82 and 122 vertices corresponding, respectively, to ▫$m=3,4$▫ and 5 above, are presented. These graphs are not associated with any Steiner system, and together with their complements form the first known pairs of complementary strongly regular bicirculants which are vertex-transitive but not edge-transitive.

Semiregular automorphisms of vertex-transitive graphs of certain valencies
Edward Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: It is shown that a vertex-transitive graph of valency ▫$p+1$▫, ▫$p$▫ a prime, admitting a transitive action of a ▫$\{2,p\}$▫-group, has a non-identity semiregular automorphism. As a consequence, it is proved that a quartic vertex-transitive graph has a non-identity semiregular automorphism, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all vertex-transitive graphs have such an automorphism and, more generally, that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs, Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the Fifteenth British Combinatorial Conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).

Semisymmetric elementary abelian covers of the Möbius-Kantor graph
Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Štefko Miklavič, Primož Potočnik, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: Let ▫$\wp_N : \tilde{X} \to X$▫ be a regular covering projection of connected graphs with the group of covering transformations isomorphic to ▫$N$▫. If ▫$N$▫ is an elementary abelian ▫$p$▫-group, then the projection ▫$\wp_N$▫ is called ▫$p$▫-elementary abelian. The projection ▫$\wp_N$▫ is vertex-transitive (edge-transitive) if some vertex-transitive (edge-transitive) subgroup of Aut ▫$X$▫ lifts along ▫$\wp_N$▫, and semisymmetric if it is edge- but not vertex-transitive. The projection ▫$\wp_N$▫ is minimal semisymmetric if ▫$\wp_N$▫ cannot be written as a composition ▫$\wp_N = \wp \circ \wp_M$▫ of two (nontrivial) regular covering projections, where ▫$\pw_M$▫ is semisymmetric. Finding elementary abelian covering projections can be grasped combinatorially via a linear representation of automorphisms acting on the first homology group of the graph. The method essentially reduces to finding invariant subspaces of matrix groups over prime fields (see [A. Malnic, D. Marušic, P. Potocnik, Elementary abelian covers of graphs, J. Algebraic Combin. 20 (2004) 71-97]). In this paper, all pairwise nonisomorphic minimal semisymmetric elementary abelian regular covering projections of the Möbius-Kantor graph, the Generalized Petersen graph GP(8,3), are constructed. No such covers exist for ▫$p=2$▫. Otherwise, the number of such covering projections is equal to ▫$(p-1)/4$▫ and ▫$1+(p-1)/4$▫ in cases ▫$p \equiv 5,9,13,17,21 \pmod{24}$▫ and ▫$p \equiv 1 \pmod{24}$▫, respectively, and to ▫$(p+1)/4$▫ and ▫$1+(p+1)/4$▫ in cases ▫$p \equiv 3,7,11,15,23 \pmod{24}$▫ and ▫$p \equiv 19 \pmod{24}$▫, respectively. For each such covering projection the voltage rules generating the corresponding covers are displayed explicitly.

Reflexivity defect of spaces of linear operators
Janko Bračič, Bojan Kuzma, 2009, original scientific article

Abstract: For a finite-dimensional linear subspace ▫{$\mathscr{S}} \subseteq {\mathscr{L}} (V,W)$▫ and a positive integer ▫$k$▫, the ▫$k$▫-reflexivity defect of ▫$\mathscr{S}$▫ is defined by ▫${\mathrm{rd}}_k ({\mathscr{S}}) = \dim({\mathrm{Ref}}_k (\mathscr{S})/\mathscr{S})$▫ where ▫${\mathrm{Ref}}_k$▫ is the ▫$k$▫-reflexive closure of ▫$\mathscr{S}$▫. We study this quantity for two-dimensional spaces of operators and for single generated algebras and their commutants.

Additive rank-one nonincreasing maps on Hermitian matrices over the field GF(2[sup]2)
Marko Orel, Bojan Kuzma, 2009, original scientific article

Abstract: A complete classification of additive rank-one nonincreasing maps on hermitian matrices over Galois field ▫$GF(2^2)$▫ is obtained. This field is special and was not covered in a previous paper. As a consequence, some known applications, like the classification of additive rank-additivity preserving maps, are extended to arbitrary fields. An application concerning the preservers of hermitian varieties is also presented.

General preservers of quasi-commutativity on self-adjoint operators
Gregor Dolinar, Bojan Kuzma, 2010, original scientific article

Abstract: Let ▫$H$▫ be a separable Hilbert space and▫ ${\mathcal B}_{sa}(H)▫$ the set of all bounded linear self-adjoint operators. We say that ▫$A, B \in {\mathcal B}_{sa}(H)$▫ quasi-commute if there exists a nonzero ▫$\xi \in \mathbb{C}$▫ suchthat ▫$AB=\xi BA$▫. Bijective maps on ▫${\mathcal B}_{sa}(H)$▫ which preserve quasi-commutativity in both directions are classified.
