A Boolean function is a function $f:\Bbb{Z}_n^2 \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ and we denote the set of all $n$-variable Boolean functions by $BF_n$. For $f\in BF_n$ the vector $[{\rm W}_f(a_0),\ldots,{\rm W}_f(a_{2n-1})]$ is called the Walsh spectrum of $f$, where ${\rm W}_f(a)= \sum_{x\in V} (-1)^{f(x) \oplus ax}$, where $V_n$ is the vector space of dimension $n$ over the two-element field $F_2$. In this paper, we shall consider the Cayley graph $\Gamma_f$ associated with a Boolean function $f$. We shall also find a complete characterization of the bent Boolean functions of order $16$ and determine the spectrum of related Cayley graphs.In addition, we shall enumerate all orbits of the action of automorphism group on the set $BF_n$.

A Cayley graph [Formula: see text] is called arc-transitive if its automorphism group [Formula: see text] is transitive on the set of arcs in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a characterization of cubic arc-transitive Cayley graphs on a class of Frobenius groups.

Abstract A Cayley graph Γ is said to be arc-transitive if its full automorphism group AutΓ is transitive on the arc set of Γ. In this paper we give a characterization of pentavalent arc-transitive Cayley graphs on a class of Frobenius groups with soluble vertex stabilizer.

Let Zn2 be the elementary abelian 2-group, which can be viewed as the vector space of dimension n over F2. Let {e1,..., en} be the standard basis of Zn2 and ?k = ek +...+ en for some 1 ? k ? n-1. Denote by ?n,k the Cayley graph over Zn2 with generating set Sk = {e1,..., en,?k}, that is, ?n,k = Cay(Zn2,Sk). In this paper, we characterize the automorphism group of ?n,k for 1 ? k ? n-1 and determine all Cayley graphs over Zn2 isomorphic to ?n,k. Furthermore, we prove that for any Cayley graph ? = Cay(Zn2,T), if ? and ?n,k share the same spectrum, then ? ? ?n,k. Note that ?n,1 is known as the so called n-dimensional folded hypercube FQn, and ?n,k is known as the n-dimensional enhanced hypercube Qn,k.

A Cayley graph [Formula: see text] is said to be core-free if [Formula: see text] is core-free in some [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. A graph [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-regular if [Formula: see text] acts regularly on its [Formula: see text]-arcs. It is shown in this paper that if [Formula: see text], then there exist no core-free tetravalent [Formula: see text]-regular Cayley graphs; and for [Formula: see text], every tetravalent [Formula: see text]-regular Cayley graph is a normal cover of one of the three known core-free graphs. In particular, a characterization of tetravalent [Formula: see text]-regular Cayley graphs is given.

A complete characterization of locally primitive normal Cayley graphs of metacyclic groups is given. Namely, let $\Gamma={\rm Cay}(G,S)$ be such a graph, where $G\cong{\Bbb Z}_m.{\Bbb Z}_n$ is a metacyclic group and $m=p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}\cdots p_t^{r_t}$ such that $p_1 < p_2 < \dots < p_t$. It is proved that $G\cong D_{2m}$ is a dihedral group, and $val(\Gamma)=p$ is a prime such that $p|(p_1(p_1-1),p_2-1,\dots,p_t-1)$. Moreover, three types of graphs are constructed which exactly form the class of locally primitive normal Cayley graphs of metacyclic groups.

Zhou and Feng [‘On symmetric graphs of valency five’, Discrete Math. 310 (2010), 1725–1732] proved that all connected pentavalent 1-transitive Cayley graphs of finite nonabelian simple groups are normal. We construct an example of a nonnormal 2-arc transitive pentavalent symmetric Cayley graph on the alternating group $\text{A}_{39}$. Furthermore, we show that the full automorphism group of this graph is isomorphic to the alternating group $\text{A}_{40}$.

Let [Formula: see text] be a ring with identity. The unitary Cayley graph of [Formula: see text] is the simple graph with vertex set [Formula: see text], where two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are linked by an edge if and only if [Formula: see text] is a unit of [Formula: see text]. A graph is said to be planar if it can be drawn on the plane in such a way that its edges intersect only at their endpoints. In this paper, we completely characterize the rings whose unitary Cayley graphs are planar.

A bi-Cayley graph is a graph which admits a semiregular group of automorphisms with two orbits of equal size. In this paper, we give a characterization of cubic non-Cayley vertex-transitive bi-Cayley graphs over a regular $p$-group, where $p>5$ is an odd prime. As an application, a classification of cubic non-Cayley vertex-transitive graphs of order $2p^3$ is given for each prime $p$.

A Cayley graph Γ=Cay(G,S) is said to be normal if the base group G is normal in AutΓ. The concept of the normality of Cayley graphs was first proposed by M.Y. Xu in 1998 and it plays a vital role in determining the full automorphism groups of Cayley graphs. In this paper, we construct an example of a 2-arc transitive hexavalent nonnormal Cayley graph on the alternating group A119. Furthermore, we determine the full automorphism group of this graph and show that it is isomorphic to A120.
