Title
On the uniqueness of some girth eight algebraically defined graphs, Part II
Abstract
Let F be a field. For a polynomial f∈F[x,y] and positive integers k and m, we define a bipartite graph ΓF(xkym,f) with vertex partition P∪L, where P and L are two copies of F3, and (p1,p2,p3)∈P is adjacent to [l1,l2,l3]∈L if and only if p2+l2=p1kl1mandp3+l3=f(p1,l1)It is known that ΓF(xy,xy2) has no cycles of length less than eight. The main result of this paper is that ΓF(xy,xy2) is the only graph ΓF(xkym,f) with this property when F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero; i.e. over such a field F, every graph ΓF(xkym,f) with no cycles of length less than eight is isomorphic to ΓF(xy,xy2). We also prove related uniqueness results over infinite families of finite fields.
