This chapter summarizes the results about the residues of Bruhat-Tits buildings other than those associated with the exceptional Moufang quadrangles examined in previous chapters. It first considers cases, for which it assumes that Λ‎ is complete with respect to a discrete valuation in an appropriate sense. It then presents the Coxeter diagram of Ξ‎ and the vertex set S of such diagram, along with the J-residue of the building Ξ‎, which is called a gem if J is the complement in the S of a special vertex. The chapter also discusses the structure of the gems of Ξ‎ as well as cases in which the pseudo-quadratic space is defined to be ramified or unramified.

This chapter presents a few results about certain forms of orthogonal buildings. It begins with notations stating that V is a K-vector space of positive dimension, (K, V, q) is a quadratic space of positive dimension, (K, V, q) is a regular quadratic space of positive Witt index, S is the vertex set of the Coxeter diagram, (K, V, q) is a hyperbolic quadratic space of dimension 2n for some n greater than or equal to 3, S is the vertex set of the Coxeter diagram for some n greater than or equal to 3, and Dn.l,script small l is the Tits index of absolute type Dn for n greater than or equal to 3. The chapter also considers propositions dealing with regular quadratic spaces and hyperbolic quadratic spaces.

The power graph of a group [Formula: see text] is the graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. This paper investigates the minimal separating sets of power graphs of finite groups. For power graphs of finite cyclic groups, certain minimal separating sets are obtained. Consequently, a sharp upper bound for their connectivity is supplied. Further, the components of proper power graphs of [Formula: see text]-groups are studied. In particular, the number of components of that of abelian [Formula: see text]-groups are determined.

In a graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$ a vertex $v$ is resolved by a vertex-set $S=\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ if its (ordered) distance list with respect to $S$, $(d(v,v_1),\ldots,d(v,v_n))$, is unique. A set $A\subset V$ is resolved by $S$ if all its elements are resolved by $S$. $S$ is a resolving set in $\Gamma$ if it resolves $V$. The metric dimension of $\Gamma$ is the size of the smallest resolving set in it. In a bipartite graph a semi-resolving set is a set of vertices in one of the vertex classes that resolves the other class.We show that the metric dimension of the incidence graph of a finite projective plane of order $q\geq 23$ is $4q-4$, and describe all resolving sets of that size. Let $\tau_2$ denote the size of the smallest double blocking set in PG$(2,q)$, the Desarguesian projective plane of order $q$. We prove that for a semi-resolving set $S$ in the incidence graph of PG$(2,q)$, $|S|\geq \min \{2q+q/4-3, \tau_2-2\}$ holds. In particular, if $q\geq9$ is a square, then the smallest semi-resolving set in PG$(2,q)$ has size $2q+2\sqrt{q}$. As a corollary, we get that a blocking semioval in PG$(2, q)$, $q\geq 4$, has at least $9q/4-3$ points. A corrigendum was added to this paper on March 3, 2017.

Let $G^{(\infty)}$ be an infinite graph with the vertex set corresponding to the set of positive integers ${\Bbb N}$. Denote by $G^{(l)}$ a subgraph of $G^{(\infty)}$ which is spanned by the vertices $\{1,\dots,l\}$. As a possible extension of Turán's theorem to infinite graphs, in this paper we will examine how large $\liminf_{l\rightarrow \infty} {|E(G^{(l)})|\over l^2}$ can be for an infinite graph $G^{(\infty)}$, which does not contain an increasing path $I_k$ with $k+1$ vertices. We will show that for sufficiently large $k$ there are $I_k$–free infinite graphs with ${1\over 4}+{1\over 200} < \liminf_{l\rightarrow \infty} {|E(G^{(l)})|\over l^2}$. This disproves a conjecture of J. Czipszer, P. Erdős and A. Hajnal. On the other hand, we will show that $\liminf_{l\rightarrow \infty} {|E(G^{(l)})|\over l^2}\le{1\over 3}$ for any $k$ and such $G^{(\infty)}$.

Let G be a nite group. The power graph P(G) of a group G is the graphwhose vertex set is the group elements and two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The commuting graph \Delta(G) of a group G, is the graph whose vertices are the group elements, two of them joined if they commute. When the vertex set is G-Z(G), this graph is denoted by \Gamma(G). Since the results based on the automorphism group of these kinds of graphs are so sporadic, in this paper, we give a survey of all results on the automorphism group of power graphs and commuting graphs obtained in the literature.

The power graph P(G) of a group G is the graph whose vertex set is the group elements and two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this paper, we consider some graph theoretical properties of a power graph P(G) that can be related to its group theoretical properties. As consequences of our results, simple proofs for some earlier results are presented.

Let F be a local field with ring of integers 0 and prime ideal π0. If V is a vector space over F, a lattice L in F is defined as an 0-module in the vector space V with the property that the elements of L have bounded denominators in the basis for V. If V is, in addition, a quadratic space, the lattice L then has a quadratic structure superimposed on it. Two lattices on V are then said to be isometric if there is an isometry of V that maps one onto the other.In this paper, we consider the following problem: given two elements, v and w, of the lattice L over the regular quadratic space V, find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an isometry on L that maps v onto w.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. The power graph of [Formula: see text] is the undirected graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The reduced power graph of [Formula: see text] is the subgraph of the power graph of [Formula: see text] obtained by deleting all edges [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two distinct elements of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the proper connection number of the reduced power graph of [Formula: see text]. As an application, we also determine the proper connection number of the power graph of [Formula: see text].

The permutability graph of subgroups of a given group G, denoted by Γ(G), is a graph with vertex set consists of all the proper subgroups of G and two distinct vertices in Γ(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding subgroups permute in G. In this paper, we classify the finite groups whose permutability graphs of subgroups are one of bipartite, star graph, C3-free, C5-free, K4-free, K5-free, K1,4-free, K2,3-free or Pn-free (n = 2, 3, 4). We investigate the same for infinite groups also. Moreover, some results on the girth, completeness and regularity of the permutability graphs of subgroups of groups are obtained. Among the other results, we characterize groups Q8, S3 and A4 by using their permutability graphs of subgroups.

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a finite group [Formula: see text] is the undirected simple graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the number of distinct prime divisors of [Formula: see text]. The minimum degree [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is known for [Formula: see text], see [R. P. Panda and K. V. Krishna, On the minimum degree, edge-connectivity and connectivity of power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 46(7) (2018) 3182–3197]. For [Formula: see text], under certain conditions involving the prime divisors of [Formula: see text], we identify at most [Formula: see text] vertices such that [Formula: see text] is equal to the degree of at least one of these vertices. If [Formula: see text], or that [Formula: see text] is a product of distinct primes, we are able to identify two such vertices without any condition on the prime divisors of [Formula: see text].
