Abstract

In the paper Graphical complexity of products of permutation groups, M. Grech, A. Jeż, and A. Kisielewicz have proved that the direct product of automorphism groups of edge-colored graphs is itself the automorphism groups of an edge-colored graph. In this paper, we study the direct product of two permutation groups such that at least one of them fails to be the automorphism group of an edge-colored graph. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the direct product to be the automorphism group of an edge-colored graph. The same problem is settled for the edge-colored digraphs.

Highlights

  • For permutation groups (A, V ), (B, W ), the direct product of A and B is a permutation group (A × B, V × W ) with the action given by (a, b)(x, y) = (a(x), b(y)).The study of the direct product of automorphism groups of graphs was initiated by G

  • By DG(k) we denote the class of the automorphism groups of k-edge-colored digraphs, and by DGR the union of all the classes DG(k)

  • The main results is Theorem 3.2 characterizing the conditions under which the direct product of two arbitrary permutation groups belongs to GR

Summary

Introduction

Imrich [13], have described the conditions under which the direct product of regular permutation groups that are automorphism groups of graphs is itself the automorphism group of a graph By DG(k) we denote the class of the automorphism groups of k-edge-colored digraphs, and by DGR the union of all the classes DG(k) (which in Wielandt’s terminology is the class of 2-closed groups). The main general problem is to determine which permutation groups are the automorphism groups of edge-colored graphs. The main results is Theorem 3.2 characterizing the conditions under which the direct product of two arbitrary permutation groups belongs to GR
