摘要

如果一个图具有唯一的哈密顿循环，那么这个图就是唯一哈密顿图。为了将这一概念自然扩展到无限图，我们找到了所有具有有限多个末端的唯一哈密顿顶点传递图，并讨论了一些具有无限多个末端的例子。特别是，我们证明了每个非阿贝尔自由群都有一个具有唯一哈密顿圆的阶数 Cayley 图。(此外，我们还证明了这些 Cayley 图是外平面的。

On vertex-transitive graphs with a unique hamiltonian cycle

A graph is said to be uniquely hamiltonian if it has a unique hamiltonian cycle. For a natural extension of this concept to infinite graphs, we find all uniquely hamiltonian vertex-transitive graphs with finitely many ends, and also discuss some examples with infinitely many ends. In particular, we show each nonabelian free group $F_{n}$ has a Cayley graph of degree $2 n + 2$ that has a unique hamiltonian circle. (A weaker statement had been conjectured by Georgakopoulos.) Furthermore, we prove that these Cayley graphs of $F_{n}$ are outerplanar.
