The core of a vertex transitive complementary prism of a lexicographic productMarko Orel, 2023, original scientific article
Abstract: The complementary prism of a graph $\Gamma$ is the graph $\Gamma \overline{\Gamma}$, which is formed from the union of $\Gamma$ and its complement $\overline{\Gamma}$ by adding an edge between each pair of identical vertices in $\Gamma$ and $\overline{\Gamma}$. Vertex-transitive self-complementary graphs provide vertex-transitive complementary prisms. It was recently proved by the author that $\Gamma \overline{\Gamma}$ is a core, i.e. all its endomorphisms are automorphisms, whenever $\Gamma$ is vertex-transitive, self-complementary, and either $\Gamma$ is a core or its core is a complete graph. In this paper the same conclusion is obtained for some other classes of vertex-transitive self-complementary graphs that can be decomposed as a lexicographic product $\Gamma = \Gamma_1 [\Gamma_2]$. In the process some new results aboutthe homomorphisms of a lexicographic product are obtained.
