 Cayley graphs
Cayley graphs are named for Arthur Cayley (August 1821-January 1895), who though starting out as a laywer, eventually published over 900 papers and notes covering nearly every aspect of modern mathematics.

Graphs, groups, and surfaces are all subjects of study in topological graph theory, using techniques and principles from the disciplines of graph theory, algebra, and topology.

 Automatic Groups
In order to define word-hyperbolic groups, we need to discuss Cayley graphs; the Cayley graph is a graph with a point for each element of the group and with a directed line from one point to a second point whenever the second element is the first element times one of the generators.
A path in a Cayley graph is a series of lines that match start to end; a path corresponds to multiplication by a series of generators.
A word-hyperbolic group is one whose Cayley graph has the following property: given a triangle with edges of shortest possible length to still join the vertices, the distance from a point on one edge to the union of the other two edges is bounded by some constant.

 Graph (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A quiver is sometimes said to be simply a directed graph, but in practice it is a directed graph with vector spaces attached to the vertices and linear transformations attached to the arcs.
In a weighted graph or digraph, each edge is associated with some value, variously called its cost, weight, length or other term depending on the application; such graphs arise in many contexts, for example in optimal routing problems such as the traveling salesman problem.
Every graph gives rise to a matroid, but in general the graph cannot be recovered from its matroid, so matroids are not truly generalizations of graphs.

A Cayley graph is a way to organize the behavior of the interactions between members of a group.
An edge is placed between two vertices when it is possible to go from one element to the other by multiplying one of the elements by one of the group's generators or the inverse of one of these generators.
However, the substantial improvement in the Cayley graph diameter upper bound of R(2,5) from several thousand to 236 demonstrates the powerful role that using computational techniques can play in the study of Abstract Algebra.

 Cayley graph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a Cayley graph (also known as a Cayley colour graph and named after Arthur Cayley), is a graph that encodes the structure of a group.
For example, the Cayley graph of the free group on two generators a and b is depicted above and to the right respectively.
Insights into the structure of the group can be obtained by studying the adjacency matrix of the graph and in particular applying the theorems of spectral graph theory.

 On the clique number of random Cayley graphs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Firstly, take A to be the set of quadratic residues mod N. The resulting Cayley graph is called a Paley sum graph, and it is conjectured to have many of the properties enjoyed by random graphs.
This is really a paper in combinatorial number theory, because cliques of size k in C(A) correspond exactly to sets X for which the restricted sumset X +^ X lies in A. (The restricted sumset consists of all sums x + x' with x not equal to x').
We believe that this statement, which may be paraphrased as "Cayley graphs can be good Ramsey graphs", is new.
