Perfect state transfer in unitary Cayley graphs and gcd-graphs

Abstract

In this work, we consider the problem on the existence of perfect state transfer in unitary Cayley graphs and gcd-graphs over finite commutative rings. We characterize all finite commutative rings allowing perfect transfer to occur on their unitary Cayley graphs. Also, we use our main result to study perfect state transfer in unitary Cayley signed graphs and some gcd-graphs on quotient rings of unique factorization domains. Moreover, we can apply some calculations on the eigenvalues to determine the existence of perfect state transfer in Cayley graphs over finite chain rings.
