群与图讨论班
Seminars on Groups and Graphs

这是群论和图论方向的线上系列报告，我们希望能够促进国内外青年学者（博士生为主）在群论和图论研究上的交流。报告主题分布在（但不限于）以下研究方向：

- 有限单群（有限单群分类定理，子群结构，共轭类等）
- 置换群与传递图
- 线性代数群与李型群
- 有限群的表示
- 有限\(p\)-群
- 图的谱理论
我们欢迎更多的科研工作者参与到此系列报告中，分享最新的研究成果，课题综述，技巧方法等。如果您有意愿做报告，或者想为我们推荐报告人，请联系丁兆宸（邮箱dzha470@aucklanduni.ac.nz）。

This is a platform for young group theorists and graph theorists (mostly PhD students) to talk about their research and related topics online. The topic can be anything related to group theory and graph theory, including but not limited to the following.

- Finite simple groups (CFSG, subgroup structures and conjugacy classes)
- Permutation groups and transitive graphs
- Linear algebraic groups and Lie type groups
- Representations of finite groups
- Finite \(p\)-groups
- Spectral theory of graphs
If you are a young group theorist or graph theorist, and want to give a talk, please drop an email to Zhaochen Ding at dzha470@aucklanduni.ac.nz. We would also love to hear any suggestions you have for speakers. Don't worry if you have no new results -- we also warmly welcome any survey, or even a method that you find helpful, on any related topic.

The Next Seminar

Title: Graphical regular representations of finite groups

Speaker: 郑莎莎 Shasha Zheng (University of Melbourne)

Time: 16:00-18:00 (GMT+8), Monday April 3rd

Location: Zoom: 616 601 4311 (password: gts2023)

Abstract: In this talk we are concerned with the automorphisms of Cayley graphs. Here are some natural questions: What kind of automorphism groups of Cayley graphs are ‘typical’; what kind of Cayley graphs are ‘common’? Viewing that ‘symmetry is rare’, a rough guess for the first question would be the groups that are ‘as small as possible’ in some sense, and one may guess for the second question that the Cayley graphs having the ‘smallest’ full automorphism groups would be the most common ones. We will estimate the number of GRRs of a given group with large enough order and show that almost all finite Cayley graphs have full automorphism groups ‘as small as possible’.
