Description

A finite group $G$ is called Cayley integral if all undirected Cayley graphs over $G$ are integral, i.e., all eigenvalues of the graphs are integers. The Cayley integral groups have been determined by Klotz and Sander [1] in the abelian case, and by Abdollahi and Jazaeri [2], and independently by Ahmady, Bell and Mohar [3] in the non-abelian case. In this talk we will generalize this class of groups by introducing the class $\mathcal{G}_k$ of finite groups $G$ for which all graphs $\mbox{Cay}(G,S)$ are integral if $|S| \le k$. It will be proved that $\mathcal{G}_k$ consists of the Cayley integral groups if $k \ge 6;$ and the classes $\mathcal{G}_4$ and $\mathcal{G}_5$ are equal, and consist of:\ (1) the Cayley integral groups, (2) the generalized dicyclic groups $\mbox{Dic}(E_{3^n} \times \mathbb{Z}_6),$ where $n \ge 1$. \bigskip \noindent [1] W.
