PROBLEM. ANALYSIS. SOLUTION.
Welcome to the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science
Our computer science, mathematics and statistics faculty and instructors are top of the line, with credentials to rival other universities in and outside of Canada.
We offer Bachelor of Science undergraduate degrees in Applied Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics. Both Master's and Doctoral levels of study are also available. Department faculty are currently working with students studying at each of these levels, many of whom are graduate students from around the world. Learn more about our majors and minors.
Undergraduate students may have opportunities to do research projects with our faculty, using modern facilities, for hands-on experience. Several department faculty have independent research programmes supported by agencies such as NSERC and IBM Canada, and at times, there may be a collaboration with other disciplines.
During this unique time in the world, the University of Lethbridge may be a bit restrictive for personal visits, so please take the time to "meet" our faculty and instructors via the buttons directly below. We think you'll see the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science offers a wide range of topics in each of our disciplines, and we're confident you will find something to appeal to your intellectual interests.

Title: Colour-permuting automorphisms of complete Cayley graphs
Abstract:
A bijection f of a metric space is "distance-permuting" if the distance from f(x) to f(y) depends only on the distance from x to y. For example, it is known that every distance-permuting bijection of the Euclidean plane is the composition of an isometry and a dilation (x --> kx). So they are affine maps. We study the analogue in which G is any (finite or infinite) group, and the "distance" from x to y is the "absolute value" of the unique element s of G, such that xs = y. We determine precisely which groups have the property that every distance-preserving bijection is an affine map. The smallest exception is the quaternion group of order 8, and all other exceptions are constructed from this one. It is natural to state the problem in the language of graph-theory: construct a graph by joining each pair of points (x,y) with an edge, and label (or "colour") this edge with its length. Then we are interested in bijections that permute the colours of the edges: i.e., the colour of the edge from f(x) to f(y) depends only on the colour of the edge from x to y. This is joint work with Shirin Alimirzaei.
