On applications of the clique-adjacency polynomial to arbitrary finite graphs

Jake Rigg, John Bamberg

The clique adjacency polynomial (CAP), introduced by Soicher (2015), provides a powerful method for bounding the clique numbers of edge-regular graphs. In this paper, we extend the…

The synchronisation hierarchy via coherent configurations

John Bamberg, Jesse Lansdown

We describe the spreading property for finite transitive permutation groups in terms of properties of their associated coherent configurations, in much the same way that separating…

Low rank groups of Lie type acting point and line-primitively on finite generalised quadrangles

Vishnuram Arumugam, John Bamberg, Michael Giudici

Suppose we have a finite thick generalised quadrangle whose automorphism group acts primitively on both the set of points and the set of lines. Then must be almost simple.…

Tactical decompositions in finite polar spaces and non-spreading classical group actions

John Bamberg, Michael Giudici, Jesse Lansdown +1

For finite classical groups acting naturally on the set of points of their ambient polar spaces, the symmetry properties of \emph{synchronising} and \emph{separating} are equivalen…

New 2-closed groups that are not automorphism groups of digraphs

John Bamberg, Michael Giudici, Jacob Paul Smith

In this paper we extend the construction of Giudici, Morgan and Zhou [arXiv:2110.07896] to give the first known examples of nonregular, -closed permutation groups of rank greate…

Spreading primitive groups of diagonal type do not exist

John Bamberg, Saul D. Freedman, Michael Giudici

The synchronisation hierarchy of finite permutation groups consists of classes of groups lying between 2-transitive groups and primitive groups. This includes the class of spreadin…

Implications of vanishing Krein parameters on Delsarte designs, with applications in finite geometry

John Bamberg, Jesse Lansdown

In this paper we show that if is a -design of an association scheme , and the Krein parameters vanish for some and all $i, j \no…
