In this expository paper we describe a group theoretic characterization of arc-transitive graphs and their quotients. When passing from a symmetric graph to its quotient, much information is lost, but some of this information may be recovered from a certain combinatorial design on the blocks, as well as a bipartite graph between the blocks. We address the "extention problem" which asks, when is this additional information sufficient to recover the original graph?
We create several families of bases for the symmetric polynomials. From these bases we prove that certain Schur symmetric polynomials form a basis for quotients of symmetric polynomials that generalize the cohomology and the quantum cohomology of the Grassmannian. Our work also provides an alternative proof of a result due to Grinberg.
Some Quotients of the Boolean Lattice are Symmetric Chain Orders
R. Canfield证明了对于布尔格B（n）（可视为对称群S（n））的自同构群的所有子群G，商序B（n）/G是对称链序。我们给出了K的一个结果的推广的一个直接证明。K. Jordan：也就是说，当G由不相交圈的幂生成时，B（n）/G是SCO。Greene和Kleitman的对称链分解为这些子的划分提供了基础。
We generalize the Tamari lattice by extending the notions of $231$-avoiding permutations, noncrossing set partitions, and nonnesting set partitions to parabolic quotients of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_{n}$. We show bijectively that these three objects are equinumerous. We show how to extend these constructions to parabolic quotients of any finite Coxeter group. The main ingredient is a certain aligned condition of inversion sets; a concept which can in fact be generalized to any reduced expression of any element in any (not necessarily finite) Coxeter group.
给定一个有向图，如果对于同一等价类中的每两个顶点，从每个等价类的顶点到这两个顶点中的每一个的有向边的数目相同，则称图顶点集上的等价关系是平衡的。本文描述了对称有向图的商图和提升图，这些图在相关顶点集上具有平衡的等价关系。特别是，我们的特征的同向分量和电梯也是对称的。最后，我们将这些结果应用于梯度和哈密顿耦合细胞系统，在Golubitsky，Stewart和Torok的耦合细胞网络形式主义的背景下（多箭头耦合细胞网络中的同步模式。{SIAM Journal of Applied动力系统，4（1）（2005）78-100）。
A graph $Γ$ is basic if Aut$Γ$ has no normal subgroup $N\ne1$ such that $Γ$ is a normal cover of the normal quotient graph $Γ_N$. In this paper, we completely determine the basic normal quotient graphs of all connected 7-valent symmetric graphs of order $2pq^n$ with $p < q$ odd primes, which consist of an infinite family of dihedrants of order $2p$ with $p\equiv1$(mod 7), and 6 specific graphs with order at most 310. As a consequence, it shows that, for any given positive integer n, there are only finitely many connected 2-arc-transitive 7-valent graphs of order $2pq^n$ with $7\ne p<q$ primes,…
Ordering permutations by containment of inversion sets yields a fascinating partial order on the symmetric group: the weak order. This partial order is, among other things, a semidistributive lattice. As a consequence, every permutation has a canonical representation as a join of other permutations. Combinatorially, these canonical join representations can be modeled in terms of arc diagrams. Moreover, these arc diagrams also serve as a model to understand quotient lattices of the weak order. A particularly well-behaved quotient lattice of the weak order is the well-known Tamari lattice, which…
In this article we define an encoding for parabolic permutations that distinguishes between parabolic $231$-avoiding permutations. We prove that the componentwise order on these codes realizes the parabolic Tamari lattice, and conclude a direct and simple proof that the parabolic Tamari lattice is isomorphic to a certain $ν$-Tamari lattice, with an explicit bijection. Furthermore, we prove that this bijection is closely related to the map $Θ$ used when the lattice isomorphism was first proved in (Ceballos, Fang and Mühle, 2020), settling an open problem therein.
We consider the Ihara zeta function $ζ(u,X//G)$ and Artin-Ihara $L$-function of the quotient graph of groups $X//G$, where $G$ is a group acting on a finite graph $X$ with trivial edge stabilizers. We determine the relationship between the primes of $X$ and $X//G$ and show that $X\to X//G$ can be naturally viewed as an unramified Galois covering of graphs of groups. We show that the $L$-function of $X//G$ evaluated at the regular representation is equal to $ζ(u,X)$ and that $ζ(u,X//G)$ divides $ζ(u,X)$. We derive two-term and three-term determinant formulas for the zeta and $L$-functions, and …
We study the generating polynomial of the flag major index with each one-dimensional character, called signed Mahonian polynomial, over the colored permutation group, the wreath product of a cyclic group with the symmetric group. Using the insertion lemma of Han and Haglund-Loehr-Remmel and a signed extension established by Eu et al., we derive the signed Mahonian polynomial over the quotients of parabolic subgroups of the colored permutation group, for a variety of systems of coset representatives in terms of subsequence restrictions. This generalizes the related work over parabolic quotients…

We show that any lower Bruhat interval in a Coxeter group is a disjoint union of certain two-sided cosets as a consequence of Lifting Property and Subword Property. Furthermore, we describe these details in terms of Bruhat graphs, graded posets, and two-sided quotients altogether. For this purpose, we introduce some new ideas, quotient lower intervals and quotient Bruhat graphs.
We introduce a quotient of Fomin-Kirillov algebra $FK(n)$ denoted $\overline{FK}_{C_n}(n)$, over the ideal generated by the edges of a complete graph on n vertexes that are missing in the $n$-cycle graph $C_n$. For this quotient algebra $\overline{FK}_{C_n}(n)$, we show that the basis is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of matchings in an $n$-cycle graph. We also prove that the dimension of $\overline{FK}_{C_n}(n)$ equals the Lucas Number $L_n$ and its Hilbert series is $q$-Lucas polynomial. We find the character map of this quotient algebra over Dihedral group $D_n$.
Given a representation of a finite group $G$ over some commutative base ring $\mathbf{k}$, the cofixed space is the largest quotient of the representation on which the group acts trivially. If $G$ acts by $\mathbf{k}$-algebra automorphisms, then the cofixed space is a module over the ring of $G$-invariants. When the order of $G$ is not invertible in the base ring, little is known about this module structure. We study the cofixed space in the case that $G$ is the symmetric group on $n$ letters acting on a polynomial ring by permuting its variables. When $\mathbf{k}$ has characteristic 0, the co…
Let $Γ$ denote an undirected, connected, regular graph with vertex set $X$, adjacency matrix $A$, and ${d+1}$ distinct eigenvalues. Let ${\mathcal A}={\mathcal A}(Γ)$ denote the subalgebra of Mat$_X({\mathbb C})$ generated by $A$. We refer to ${\mathcal A}$ as the {\it adjacency algebra} of $Γ$. In this paper we investigate algebraic and combinatorial structure of $Γ$ for which the adjacency algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is closed under Hadamard multiplication. In particular, under this simple assumption, we show the following: (i) ${\mathcal A}$ has a standard basis $\{I,F_1,\ldots,F_d\}$; (ii) for …

We construct the first infinite families of locally arc transitive graphs with the property that the automorphism group has two orbits on vertices and is quasiprimitive on exactly one orbit, of twisted wreath type. This work contributes to Giudici, Li and Praeger's program for the classification of locally arc transitive graphs by showing that the star normal quotient twisted wreath category also contains infinitely many graphs.
A graph $Γ$ is $G$-symmetric if $G$ is a group of automorphisms of $Γ$ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of $Γ$. If $V(Γ)$ admits a nontrivial $G$-invariant partition ${\cal B}$ such that for blocks $B, C \in {\cal B}$ adjacent in the quotient graph $Γ_{\cal B}$ of $Γ$ relative to ${\cal B}$, exactly one vertex of $B$ has no neighbour in $C$, then $Γ$ is called an almost multicover of $Γ_{\cal B}$. In this case an incidence structure with point set ${\cal B}$ arises naturally, and it is a $(G, 2)$-point-transitive and $G$-block-transitive 2-design if in addit…
Consider the ring $\mathcal{S}$ of symmetric polynomials in $k$ variables over an arbitrary base ring $\mathbf{k}$. Fix $k$ scalars $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{k}\in\mathbf{k}$. Let $I$ be the ideal of $\mathcal{S}$ generated by $h_{n-k+1}-a_{1},h_{n-k+2}-a_{2},\ldots,h_{n}-a_{k}$, where $h_{i}$ is the $i$-th complete homogeneous symmetric polynomial. The quotient ring $\mathcal{S}/I$ generalizes both the usual and the quantum cohomology of the Grassmannian. We show that $\mathcal{S}/I$ has a $\mathbf{k}$-module basis consisting of (residue classes of) Schur polynomials fitting into an $\left( n-k\…
