1. Homomorphisms from the Coxeter graphMarko Orel, Draženka Višnjić, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Let $S_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ be the set of all $n\times n$ symmetric matrices with coefficients in the binary field $\mathbb{F}_2=\{0,1\}$, and let $SGL_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ be its subset formed by invertible matrices. Let $\widehat{\Gamma}_n$ be the graph with the vertex set $S_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ where a pair of vertices $\{A,B\}$ form an edge if and only if $rank(A-B)=1$. Similarly, let $\Gamma_n$ be the subgraph in $\widehat{\Gamma}_n$, which is induced by the set $SGL_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$. Graph $\Gamma_n$ generalizes the well-known Coxeter graph, which is isomorphic to $\Gamma_3$. Motivated by research topics in coding theory, matrix theory, and graph theory, this paper represents the first step towards the characterization of all graph homomorphisms $\Phi: \Gamma_n\to \widehat{\Gamma}_m$ where $n,m$ are positive integers. Here, the case $n=3$ is solved.

5. Odd extensions of transitive groups via symmetric graphs - The cubic caseKlavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, 2018, original scientific article Abstract: When dealing with symmetry properties of mathematical objects, one of the fundamental questions is to determine their full automorphism group. In this paper this question is considered in the context of even/odd permutations dichotomy. More precisely: when is it that the existence of automorphisms acting as even permutations on the vertex set of a graph, called even automorphisms, forces the existence of automorphisms that act as odd permutations, called odd automorphisms. As a first step towards resolving the above question, complete information on the existence of odd automorphisms in cubic symmetric graphs is given.

10. Adjacency preservers, symmetric matrices, and coresMarko Orel, 2012, original scientific article Abstract: It is shown that the graph ▫$\Gamma_n$▫ that has the set of all ▫$n \times n$▫ symmetric matrices over a finite field as the vertex set, with two matrices being adjacent if and only if the rank of their difference equals one, is a core if ▫$n \ge 3$▫. Eigenvalues of the graph ▫$\Gamma_n$▫ are calculated as well.
