Automorphism groups of half cubes

Richard H. Hammack and Benjamin B. MacKinnon

Vol. 16 (2023), No. 2, 321–329

Abstract

The $n$ -dimensional half cube is the graph whose vertices are the binary strings of length $n$ , with an even number of 1’s, and with two vertices adjacent if and only if they differ in exactly two positions. It is also the 1-skeleton of an $n$ -dimensional polytope (called the half cube polytope) whose cells are $(n - 1)$ -dimensional simplices and $(n - 1)$ -dimensional half cube polytopes.

We compute the automorphism groups of the half cube graphs by embedding their vertices in $ℝ^{n}$ and realizing the automorphism groups as subgroups of ${GL}_{n} (ℝ)$ . As a consequence, the automorphism group of a half cube graph coincides with its automorphism group as a polytope.
