Abstract: A perfect code in a graph \(\Gamma=(V,E)\) is a subset \(C\) of \(V\) such that no two vertices in \(C\) are adjacent and every vertex in \(V{\setminus}C\) is adjacent to exactly one vertex in \(C\). A subgroup \(H\) of a group \(G\) is called a subgroup perfect code of \(G\) if it is a perfect code in some Cayley graph of \(G\). In this talk, we initiate a study of which maximal subgroups of a group can occur as perfect codes. We develop a general framework for this problem and propose several related questions.
