題目: Perfect codes in Cayley graphs

概要: For a graph $\Gamma$ and a positive integer $e$, a perfect $e$-code in $\Gamma$ is a subset $C$ of $V(\Gamma)$ such that the closed $e$-neighbourhoods of the vertices in $C$ form a partition of $V(\Gamma)$. Given a finite group $G$ and an inverse-closed subset $S$ of $G$ excluding the identity element, the Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(G, S)$ is the graph with vertex set $G$ such that $x, y \in G$ are adjacent if and only if $yx^{-1} \in S$. Perfect codes in Cayley graphs can be considered as generalisations of perfect codes in classical coding theory, and perfect $1$-codes in Cayley graphs are closely related to tilings of the underlying groups. I will review some of the recent results on perfect codes in Cayley graphs with a focus on perfect $1$-codes.
