Title
Infinite Graphs with Finite 2-Distinguishing Cost.
Abstract
A graph G is said to be 2-distinguishable if there is a labeling of the vertices with two labels such that only the trivial automorphism preserves the labels. Call the minimum size of a label class in such a labeling of G the cost of 2-distinguishing G. Within the class of connected, locally finite, infinite graphs, we show that those with finite 2-distinguishing cost are precisely the graphs with countable automorphism group. Further we show that, for such graphs, the cost is less than three times the size of a smallest determining set (a set which only the trivial automorphism fixes pointwise). Finally we show that graphs with linear growth rate c have the even smaller upper bound of c + 1 on their cost of 2-distinguishing.
