Title: Computing Quantum Automorphism Groups of Graphs
Abstract: The quantum automorphism group of a graph is a natural generalization of the notion of automorphism group of a graph in the framework of compact quantum groups. What makes these objects particularly interesting is their interplay with the Graph Isomorphism nonlocal game from quantum information theory. However, explicit computation of quantum automorphism groups of graphs is quite difficult and few general results were known a few years ago. In this talk, we shall explore algebraic and combinatorial tools which enable us to compute quantum automorphism groups of larger graphs from those of simpler ones. In particular, we give explicit algorithms for computing quantum automorphism groups of large families of graphs such as forests, outerplanar graphs, and block graphs, and study quantum automorphism groups of lexicographic products of graphs.
