The Characteristic Polynomials of Symmetric Graphs

Abstract: In this paper, we study the way the symmetries of a given graph are reflected in its characteristic polynomials. Our aim is not only to find obstructions for graph symmetries in terms of its polynomials but also to measure how faithful these algebraic invariants are with respect to symmetry. Let p be an odd prime and Γ be a finite graph whose automorphism group contains an element h of order p. Assume that the finite cyclic group generated by h acts semi-freely on the set of vertices of Γ with fixe… Show more

“…These results have been extended to the Laplacian characteristic polynomial in [24]. A similar study of the characteristic polynomial of symmetric graphs using block circulant matrices can be found in [25]. It is worth mentioning here that most of the formulas introduced in the above mentioned papers express the polynomial of the symmetric graph G in terms of the polynomial of its quotient graph G. The advantage of the conditions introduced in Theorems 1 and 2 is that they do not involve the quotient graph.…”

“…However, we need information about the stabilizers of primevalent symmetric graphs and a more detailed discussion. Additionally, the term symmetric graph that is used in this paper has been also used for a different type of symmetry in other research works; see [24], for example. It studied the symmetry of graphs through characteristic polynomials, which is more interesting and detailed.…”
