The title of Martin's talk: On the defect of vertex-transitive graphs of given degree and diameter
Abstract:
The Degree/Diameter Problem is the problem of finding the largest order n(Delta,D) of a graph of maximum degree Delta and diameter D. The well-known Moore bound, M(Delta,D)=1+Delta((Delta-1)^D-1)/(Delta-2), provides a natural upper bound on n(Delta,D), and graphs that attain this bound are called Moore graphs. To avoid trivialities we will assume Delta > 2 and D > 1, in which case Moore graphs are very rare. Any graph G of maximum degree Delta and diameter D (a (Delta,D)-graph) is said to have the defect delta(G) = M(Delta,D) - |V(G)|.
We present bounds on the number of cycles of length 2D+1 in graph with prescribed degree Delta, diameter D and defect delta which besides the term Delta(Delta-1)^D/2 depend only on degree Delta and defect delta.
Using two classical number theory results due to Niven and Erdos, we prove that for any fixed degree Delta > 2 and any positive integer delta, the order of a largest vertex-transitive Delta-regular graph of diameter D differs from the Moore bound by more than delta for (asymptotically) almost all diameters D > 1. We also obtain an estimate for the growth of this difference, or defect, as a function of D.
This talk is based on a joint work with G. Exoo, R. Jajcay and J. Siran.
