A general method to find the spectrum and eigenspaces of the k-token graph of a cycle, and 2-token through continuous fractions

The k-token graph Fk(G) of a graph G is the graph whose vertices are the k-subsets of vertices from G, two of which being adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in G. In this paper, we propose a general method to find the spectrum and eigenspaces of the k-token g...
