摘要內容:
In this talk, we first introduce Cayley graphs, which are graphs arising from groups, and give an interesting application in chemistry: designing a molecule with a desirable electronic spectrum. More precisely, we classify fullerenes with Cayley graph structure and explicitly construct an infinite family of toroidal fullerenes with a prescribed HOMO-LUMO energy gap. In order to build these molecules in the real world, we discuss how to realize these Cayley graphs in three-dimensional space in the end.
