On the maximum relational complexity of affine groups
Coen del Valle, Nick Gill, Pablo Spiga
Let be a group of permutations of a set . The relational complexity is the least integer such that the -orbit of every finite tuple is determin…
The binary actions of sporadic groups
Coen del Valle, Nick Gill
An action of a group is binary if it induces the group of automorphisms of some homogeneous edge-coloured directed graph. In this paper we study the quasisimple groups with $G/…
Constructing linear codes from digraphs and groups
Coen del Valle, Cheryl E. Praeger
In 2012, Kaufman and Lubotzky constructed the first family of symmetric LDPC good codes. Their construction used Cayley codes, as originally defined by Kaufman and Wigderson (2016)…
The Gill-Guillot commuting graph for sporadic and related groups
David A. Craven, Coen del Valle, Chris Parker
Let be a finite group and a normal subset of . The Gill-Guillot graph has vertex set with distinct adjacent if and only if $…
Regular bipartite multigraphs have many (but not too many) symmetries
Peter J. Cameron, Coen del Valle, Colva M. Roney-Dougal
Let and be integers, both at least 2. A -bipartite graph is an -regular bipartite multigraph with coloured bipartite sets of size . Define and $μ(k,l)…
The base size of the symmetric group acting on subsets
Coen del Valle, Colva M. Roney-Dougal
A base for a permutation group acting on a set is a subset of such that the pointwise stabiliser is trivial. Let and be positi…
Balancing permuted copies of multigraphs and integer matrices
Coen del Valle, Peter J. Dukes
Given a square matrix over the integers, we consider the -module generated by the set of all matrices that are permutation-similar to . Motivated by analog…
On the cone of weighted graphs generated by triangles
Coen del Valle, Peter Dukes, Kseniya Garaschuk
Motivated by problems involving triangle-decompositions of graphs, we examine the facet structure of the cone of weighted graphs on vertices generated by triangles. Our r…
