It is shown that in various categories, including many consisting of maps or hypermaps, oriented or unoriented, of a given hyperbolic type, or of coverings of a suitable topological space, every countable group A is isomorphic to the automorphism group of uncountably many non-isomorphic objects, infinitely many of them finite if A is finite. In particular, the latter applies to dessins d’enfants, regarded as finite oriented hypermaps.

The metric (resp. edge metric or mixed metric) dimension of a graph $G$, is the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that uniquely recognizes all the pairs of distinct vertices (resp. edges, or vertices and edges) of $G$ by using a vector of distances to this set. In this note we show two unexpected results on hypercube graphs. First, we show that the metric and edge metric dimension of $Q_d$ differ by only one for every integer $d$. In particular, if $d$ is odd, then the metric and edge metric dimensions of $Q_d$ are equal. Second, we prove that the metric and mixed metric dimensions of the hypercube $Q_d$ are equal for every $d ge 3$. We conclude the paper by conjecturing that all these three types of metric dimensions of $Q_d$ are equal when $d$ is large enough.

Given a finite transitive permutation group $Gleq operatorname{Sym}(Omega)$, with $|Omega|geq 2$, the derangement graph $Gamma_G$ of $G$ is the Cayley graph $operatorname{Cay}(G,operatorname{Der}(G))$, where $operatorname{Der}(G)$ is the set of all derangements of $G$. Meagher et al. [On triangles in derangement graphs, J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A, 180:105390, 2021] recently proved that $operatorname{Sym}(2)$ acting on ${1,2}$ is the only transitive group whose derangement graph is bipartite and any transitive group of degree at least three has a triangle in its derangement graph. They also showed that there exist transitive groups whose derangement graphs are complete multipartite. This paper gives two new families of transitive groups with complete multipartite derangement graphs. In addition, we construct an infinite family of transitive groups whose derangement graphs are multipartite but not complete.

Let $Gamma=(V,E)$ be a graph. The square graph $Gamma^2$ of the graph $Gamma$ is the graph with the vertex set $V(Gamma^2)=V$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in $Gamma$ is at most two. The square graph of the hypercube $Q_n$ has some interesting properties. For instance, it is highly symmetric and panconnected. In this paper, we investigate some algebraic properties of the graph ${Q^2_n}$. In particular, we show that the graph ${Q^2_n}$ is distance-transitive. We show that the graph ${Q^2_n}$ is an imprimitive distance-transitive graph if and only if $n$ is an odd integer. Also, we determine the spectrum of the graph $Q_n^2$. Finally, we show that when $n>2$ is an even integer, then ${Q^2_n}$ is an automorphic graph, that is, $Q_n^2$ is a distance-transitive primitive graph which is not a complete or a line graph.

This paper is concerned with the linkedness of Cartesian products of complete graphs. A graph with at least $2k$ vertices is {it $k$-linked} if, for every set of $2k$ distinct vertices organised in arbitrary $k$ pairs of vertices, there are $k$ vertex-disjoint paths joining the vertices in the pairs. We show that the Cartesian product $K^{d_{1}+1}times K^{d_{2}+1}$ of complete graphs $K^{d_{1}+1}$ and $K^{d_{2}+1}$ is $floor{(d_{1}+d_{2})/2}$-linked for $d_{1},d_{2}ge 2$, and this is best possible. %A polytope is said to be {it $k$-linked} if its graph is $k$-linked. This result is connected to graphs of simple polytopes. The Cartesian product $K^{d_{1}+1}times K^{d_{2}+1}$ is the graph of the Cartesian product $T(d_{1})times T(d_{2})$ of a $d_{1}$-dimensional simplex $T(d_{1})$ and a $d_{2}$-dimensional simplex $T(d_{2})$. And the polytope $T(d_{1})times T(d_{2})$ is a {it simple polytope}, a $(d_{1}+d_{2})$-dimensional polytope in which every vertex is incident to exactly $d_{1}+d_{2}$ edges. While not every $d$-polytope is $floor{d/2}$-linked, it may be conjectured that every simple $d$-polytope is. Our result implies the veracity of the revised conjecture for Cartesian products of two simplices.

About the book: The extended study of non-commutative lattices was begun in 1949 by Ernst Pascual Jordan, a theoretical and mathematical physicist and co-worker of Max Born and Werner Karl Heisenberg. Jordan introduced noncommutative lattices as algebraic structures potentially suitable to encompass the logic of the quantum world. The modern theory of noncommutative lattices began forty years later with Jonathan Leech’s 1989 paper “Skew lattices in rings.” Recently, noncommutative generalizations of lattices and related structures have seen an upsurge in interest, with new ideas and applications emerging, from quasilattices to skew Heyting algebras. Much of this activity is derived in some way from the initiation of Jonathan Leech’s program of research in this area. The present book consists of seven chapters, mainly covering skew lattices, quasilattices and paralattices, skew lattices of idempotents in rings and skew Boolean algebras. As such, it is the first research monograph covering major results due to this renewed study of noncommutative lattices. It will serve as a valuable graduate textbook on the subject, as well as a handy reference to researchers of noncommutative algebras.
本书简介:非交换格的扩展研究始于1949年,由理论和数学物理学家恩斯特·帕斯夸尔·乔丹(Ernst Pascual Jordan)开始,他是马克斯·波恩(Max Born)和维尔纳·卡尔·海森堡(Werner Karl Heisenberg)的同事。Jordan引入了非交换格作为可能适合包含量子世界逻辑的代数结构。非交换格的现代理论始于四十年后的1989年Jonathan Leech的论文《环中的偏格》。近年来,格和相关结构的非交换推广引起了人们的极大兴趣,从拟格到斜Heyting代数,新的思想和应用不断涌现。这种活动在某种程度上源于乔纳森·里奇在这一领域的研究计划的启动。本书共分七章,主要涵盖了斜格、拟格和拟格、环中幂等的斜格和斜布尔代数。因此,它是第一个研究专著,涵盖了由于这一新研究的非交换格的主要结果。它将作为一个有价值的研究生教科书的主题,以及一个方便的参考研究非交换代数。

We discuss recent progress on the problem of classifying point-primitive generalised polygons. In the case of generalised hexagons and generalised octagons, this has reduced the problem to primitive actions of almost simple groups of Lie type. To illustrate how the natural geometry of these groups may be used in this study, we show that if $mathcal{S}$ is a finite thick generalised hexagon or octagon with $G leqslant{rm Aut}(mathcal{S})$ acting point-primitively and the socle of $G$ isomorphic to ${rm PSL}_n(q)$ where $n geqslant 2$, then the stabiliser of a point acts irreducibly on the natural module. We describe a strategy to prove that such a generalised hexagon or octagon $mathcal{S}$ does not exist.
