Block graphs with large paired domination multisubdivision number

For a graph G with no isolated vertex, let γpr(G) and sdγpr(G) denote the paired-domination and paired-domination subdivision numbers, respectively. In this note, we show that if T is a tree of order n≥4 different from a healthy spider (subdivided star), then sdγpr(T)≤min{γpr(T)2+1,n2}, improving the (n−1)-upper bound that was recently proven.

Transitive Graphs

Let X be a simple undirected connected trivalent graph. Then X is said to be a trivalent non-symmetric graph of type (II) if its automorphism group A = Aut (X) acts transitively on the vertices and the vertex-stabilizer Av of any vertex v has two orbits on the neighborhood of v. In this paper, such graphs of order at most 150 with the basic cycles of prime length are investigated, and a classification is given for such graphs which are non-Cayley graphs, whose block graphs induced by the basic cycles are non-bipartite graphs.

Right Angled Artin Groups

Abstract We study Artin kernels, i.e. kernels of discrete characters of right-angled Artin groups, and we show that they decompose as graphs of groups in a way that can be explicitly computed from the underlying graph. When the underlying graph is chordal, we show that every such subgroup either surjects to an infinitely generated free group or is a generalized Baumslag–Solitar group of variable rank. In particular, for block graphs (e.g. trees), we obtain an explicit rank formula and discuss some features of the space of fibrations of the associated right-angled Artin group.
