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 fixed set F. We prove that the characteristic polynomial of Γ , with coefficients in the finite field of p elements, is the product of the characteristic polynomial of the induced subgraph Γ [ F ] by one of Γ \ F . A similar congruence holds for the characteristic polynomial of the Laplacian matrix of Γ .

Tutte Polynomials

In a recent paper, we studied the interaction between the automorphism group of a graph and its Tutte polynomial. More precisely, we proved that certain symmetries of graphs are clearly reflected by their Tutte polynomials. The purpose of this paper is to extend this study to other graph polynomials. In particular, we prove that if a graph [Formula: see text] has a symmetry of prime order [Formula: see text], then its characteristic polynomial, with coefficients in the finite field [Formula: see text], is determined by the characteristic polynomial of its quotient graph [Formula: see text]. Similar results are also proved for some generalization of the Tutte polynomial.

Letn≥2be an integer and letP={1,2,…,n,n+1}. LetZpdenote the finite field{0,1,2,…,p−1}, wherep≥2is a prime. Then every mapσonPdetermines a realn×nPetrie matrixAσwhich is known to contain information on the dynamical properties such as topological entropy and the Artin-Mazur zeta function of the linearization ofσ. In this paper, we show that ifσis acyclicpermutation onP, then all such matricesAσare similar to one another overZ2(but not overZpfor any primep≥3) and their characteristic polynomials overZ2are all equal to∑k=0nxk. As a consequence, we obtain that ifσis acyclicpermutation onP, then the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial ofAσare all odd integers and hence nonzero.

We study linearized systems of equations in characteristic [Formula: see text] of the form [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a square matrix and [Formula: see text]. We present algorithms for calculating their solutions and for determining the minimum distance of their solution spaces. In the case when [Formula: see text] has entries in [Formula: see text], the finite field of [Formula: see text] elements, we explore the relationships between the minimal and characteristic polynomials of [Formula: see text] and the above mentioned features of the solution space. In order to extend and generalize these findings to the case when [Formula: see text] has entries in an arbitrary field of characteristic [Formula: see text], we obtain generalizations of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix and the Cayley–Hamilton theorem to square linearized systems.

Hyperelliptic curves have been widely studied for cryptographic applications, and some special hyperelliptic curves are often considered to be used in practical cryptosystems. Computing Jacobian group orders is an important operation in constructing hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems, and the most common method used for the computation of Jacobian group orders is by computing the zeta functions or the characteristic polynomials of the related hyperelliptic curves. For the hyperelliptic curveCq:v2=up+au+bover the fieldFqwithqbeing a power of an odd primep, Duursma and Sakurai obtained its characteristic polynomial forq=p,a=−1,andb∈Fp. In this paper, we determine the characteristic polynomials ofCqover the finite fieldFpnforn=1, 2 anda,b∈Fpn. We also give some computational data which show that many of those curves have large prime factors in their Jacobian group orders, which are both practical and vital for the constructions of efficient and secure hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems.

Mixed Graphs

Let G be a mixed graph and L(G) be the Laplacian matrix of G. In this paper, the coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of G are studied. The first derivative of the characteristic polynomial of L(G) is explicitly expressed by means of Laplacian characteristic polynomials of its edge deleted subgraphs. As a consequence, it is shown that the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a mixed graph is reconstructible from the collection of the Laplacian characteristic polynomials of its edge deleted subgraphs. Then, it is investigated how graph modifications affect the mixed Laplacian characteristic polynomial. Also, a connection between the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a non-singular connected mixed graph and the signless Laplacian characteristic polynomial is provided, and it is used to establish a lower bound for the spectral radius of L(G). Finally, using Coates digraphs, the perturbation of the mixed Laplacian spectral radius under some graph transformations is discussed.

The orthogonality graph [Formula: see text] of a ring [Formula: see text] is the undirected graph with vertex set consisting of all nonzero two-sided zero divisors of [Formula: see text], in which for two vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (needless distinct), [Formula: see text] is an edge if and only if [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] be the set of all [Formula: see text] matrices over a finite field [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] the subset of [Formula: see text] consisting of all rank one upper triangular matrices. In this paper, we describe the full automorphism group, and using the technique of generalized equivalent canonical form of matrices, we compute the fixing number of [Formula: see text], the induced subgraph of [Formula: see text] with vertex set [Formula: see text].

Abstract The distance matrix 𝒟(G) of a connected graph G is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex vi in G is the sum of the distances from vi to all other vertices and T(G) is the diagonal matrix of transmissions of the vertices of the graph. The normalized distance Laplacian, 𝒟𝒧(G) = I−T(G)−1/2 𝒟(G)T(G)−1/2, is introduced. This is analogous to the normalized Laplacian matrix, 𝒧(G) = I − D(G)−1/2 A(G)D(G)−1/2, where D(G) is the diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of the graph and A(G) is the adjacency matrix. Bounds on the spectral radius of 𝒟 𝒧 and connections with the normalized Laplacian matrix are presented. Twin vertices are used to determine eigenvalues of the normalized distance Laplacian. The distance generalized characteristic polynomial is defined and its properties established. Finally, 𝒟𝒧-cospectrality and lack thereof are determined for all graphs on 10 and fewer vertices, providing evidence that the normalized distance Laplacian has fewer cospectral pairs than other matrices.

AbstractWe study the automorphism group of the algebraic closure of a substructureAof a pseudo-finite fieldF. We show that the behavior of this group, even whenAis large, depends essentially on the roots of unity inF. For almost all completions of the theory of pseudofinite fields, we show that overA, algebraic closure agrees with definable closure, as soon asAcontains the relative algebraic closure of the prime field.

Form Approach

We consider homogeneous linear recurring sequences over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, based on an irreducible characteristic polynomial of degree $n$ and order $m$. Let $t=(q^{n}-1)/ m$. We use quadratic forms over finite fields to give the exact number of occurrences of zeros of the sequence within its least period when $t$ has q-adic weight 2. Consequently we prove that the cardinality of the set of zeros for sequences from this category is equal to two.
