A Systematic Study of Isomorphism Invariants of Finite Groups via the Weisfeiler-Leman Dimension

Authors: Jendrik Brachter and Pascal Schweitzer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 244, 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2022)


Abstract
We investigate the relationship between various isomorphism invariants for finite groups. Specifically, we use the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension (WL) to characterize, compare and quantify the effectiveness and complexity of invariants for group isomorphism. It turns out that a surprising number of invariants and characteristic subgroups that are classic to group theory can be detected and identified by a low dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm. These include the center, the inner automorphism group, the commutator subgroup and the derived series, the abelian radical, the solvable radical, the Fitting group and π-radicals. A low dimensional WL-algorithm additionally determines the isomorphism type of the socle as well as the factors in the derives series and the upper and lower central series. We also analyze the behavior of the WL-algorithm for group extensions and prove that a low dimensional WL-algorithm determines the isomorphism types of the composition factors of a group. Finally we develop a new tool to define a canonical maximal central decomposition for groups. This allows us to show that the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of a group is at most one larger than the dimensions of its direct indecomposable factors. In other words the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension increases by at most 1 when taking direct products.

A Characterization of Individualization-Refinement Trees

Authors: Markus Anders, Jendrik Brachter, and Pascal Schweitzer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)


Abstract
Individualization-Refinement (IR) algorithms form the standard method and currently the only practical method for symmetry computations of graphs and combinatorial objects in general. Through backtracking, on each graph an IR-algorithm implicitly creates an IR-tree whose order is the determining factor of the running time of the algorithm. We give a precise and constructive characterization which trees are IR-trees. This characterization is applicable both when the tree is regarded as an uncolored object but also when regarded as a colored object where vertex colors stem from a node invariant. We also provide a construction that given a tree produces a corresponding graph whenever possible. This provides a constructive proof that our necessary conditions are also sufficient for the characterization.

Parallel Computation of Combinatorial Symmetries

Authors: Markus Anders and Pascal Schweitzer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 204, 29th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2021)


Abstract
In practice symmetries of combinatorial structures are computed by transforming the structure into an annotated graph whose automorphisms correspond exactly to the desired symmetries. An automorphism solver is then employed to compute the automorphism group of the constructed graph. Such solvers have been developed for over 50 years, and highly efficient sequential, single core tools are available. However no competitive parallel tools are available for the task. We introduce a new parallel randomized algorithm that is based on a modification of the individualization-refinement paradigm used by sequential solvers. The use of randomization crucially enables parallelization. We report extensive benchmark results that show that our solver is competitive to state-of-the-art solvers on a single thread, while scaling remarkably well with the use of more threads. This results in order-of-magnitude improvements on many graph classes over state-of-the-art solvers. In fact, our tool is the first parallel graph automorphism tool that outperforms current sequential tools.
