Abstract:

Combinatorial structures with a high level of symmetry are often explored in applications to both natural and social sciences. In some of these applications there is a demand to compare two objects efectively. A mathematical model capturing this situation is a finite graph with non-trivial symmetries, and the underlying mathematical discipline is algebraic graph theory (AGT). The symmetry of a graph is measured by its automorphism group and the alikeness of objects is expressed by the concept of a graph isomorphism. In the core of ATIFG lies the Cayley isomorphism problem, a well-known and long-standing open problem in AGT. In the proposal we outline several (sub)-problems, which will serve as mile-stones in the final solution.
