1. Nut graphs with a prescribed number of vertex and edge orbitsNino Bašić, Ivan Damnjanović, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial graph whose adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Recently, it was shown that a nut graph has more edge orbits than vertex orbits. It was also shown that for any even $r \geq 2$ and any $k \geq r + 1$, there exist infinitely many nut graphs with r vertex orbits and k edge orbits. Here, we extend this result by finding all the pairs $(r, k)$ for which there exists a nut graph with $r$ vertex orbits and $k$ edge orbits. In particular, we show that for any $k \geq 2$, there are infinitely many Cayley nut graphs with $k$ edge orbits and $k$ arc orbits.

2. Colour-permuting automorphisms of complete Cayley graphsShirin Alimirzaei, Dave Witte Morris, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let G be a (finite or infinite) group, and let KG = Cay(G; G \ {1}) be the complete graph with vertex set G, considered as a Cayley graph of G. Being a Cayley graph, it has a natural edge-colouring by sets of the form {s, s-1} for s in G. We prove that every colour-permuting automorphism of KG is an affine map, unless G is isomoprhic to the direct product of Q8 and B, where Q8 is the quaternion group of order 8, and B is an abelian group, such that b2 is trivial for all b in B.
We also prove (without any restriction on G) that every colour-permuting automorphism of KG is the composition of a group automorphism and a colour-preserving graph automorphism. This was conjectured by D. P. Byrne, M. J. Donner, and T. Q. Sibley in 2013.

3. Minimal directed strongly regular Cayley graphs over generalized dicyclic groupsYueli Han, Lu Lu, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let G be a group with identity element 1, and let S be a subset of G \ {1}. The subset S is called minimal if ⟨S⟩ = G and there exists an element s ∈ S such that ⟨S \ {s, s−1}⟩ ≠ G. In this paper, we completely determine all directed strongly regular Cayley graphs Cay(G, S) for any generalized dicyclic group G, provided that S is a minimal subset of G.

4. Regular and semi-regular representations of groups by posetsJonathan A. Barmak, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: By a result of Babai, with finitely many exceptions, every group G admits a semi-regular poset representation with three orbits, that is, a poset P with automorphism group Aut(P) ≃ G such that the action of Aut(P) on the underlying set is free and with three orbits. Among finite groups, only the trivial group and ℤ_2 have a regular poset representation (i.e. semi-regular with one orbit), however many infinite groups admit such a representation. In this paper we study non-necessarily finite groups which have a regular representation or a semi-regular representation with two orbits. We prove that if G admits a Cayley graph which is locally the Cayley graph of a free group, then it has a semi-regular representation of height 1 with two orbits. In this case we will see that any extension of the integers by G admits a regular representation. Applications are given to finite simple groups, hyperbolic groups, random groups and indicable groups.

5. Distance-regular Cayley graphs over ℤpˢ ⊕ ℤpXiongfeng Zhan, Lu Lu, Xueyi Huang, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In 2007, Miklavič and Potočnik proposed the problem of characterizing distance-regular Cayley graphs, which can be viewed as an extension of the problem of identifying strongly regular Cayley graphs, or equivalently, regular partial difference sets. Let p be an odd prime. In this paper, all distance-regular Cayley graphs over ℤps ⊕ ℤp are identified. It is shown that every such graph is isomorphic to a complete graph, a complete multipartite graph, or the line graph of a transversal design TD(r, p) with 2 ≤ r ≤ p − 1.

6. On regular graphs with Šoltés verticesNino Bašić, Martin Knor, Riste Škrekovski, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let ▫$W(G)$▫ be the Wiener index of a graph ▫$G$▫. We say that a vertex ▫$v \in V(G)$▫ is a Šoltés vertex in ▫$G$▫ if ▫$W(G - v) = W(G)$▫, i.e. the Wiener index does not change if the vertex ▫$v$▫ is removed. In 1991, Šoltés posed the problem of identifying all connected graphs ▫$G$▫ with the property that all vertices of ▫$G$▫ are Šoltés vertices. The only such graph known to this day is ▫$C_{11}$▫. As the original problem appears to be too challenging, several relaxations were studied: one may look for graphs with at least ▫$k$▫ Šoltés vertices; or one may look for ▫$\alpha$▫-Šoltés graphs, i.e. graphs where the ratio between the number of Šoltés vertices and the order of the graph is at least ▫$\alpha$▫. Note that the original problem is, in fact, to find all ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graphs. We intuitively believe that every ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph has to be regular and has to possess a high degree of symmetry. Therefore, we are interested in regular graphs that contain one or more Šoltés vertices. In this paper, we present several partial results. For every ▫$r\ge 1$▫ we describe a construction of an infinite family of cubic ▫$2$▫-connected graphs with at least ▫$2^r$▫ Šoltés vertices. Moreover, we report that a computer search on publicly available collections of vertex-transitive graphs did not reveal any ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph. We are only able to provide examples of large ▫$\frac{1}{3}$▫-Šoltés graphs that are obtained by truncating certain cubic vertex-transitive graphs. This leads us to believe that no ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph other than ▫$C_{11}$▫ exists.

9. Cyclic m-DCI-groups and m-CI-groupsIstván Kovács, Luka Šinkovec, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Based on the earlier work of Li from 1997 and Dobson from 2008, in this paper we complete the classification of cyclic m-DCI-groups and m-CI-groups. For a positive integer m such that m ≥ 3, we show that the group ℤ_(n) is an m-DCI-group if and only if n is not divisible by 8 nor by p² for any odd prime p < m. Furthermore, if m ≥ 6, then we show that ℤn is an m-CI-group if and only if either n ∈ {8, 9, 18}, or n ∉ {8, 9, 18} and n is not divisible by 8 nor by p² for any odd prime p < (m - 1)/2.
