We give a characterization, in terms of homological data in covering spaces, of those maps between (3-dimensional) graph manifolds which are homotopic to homeomorphisms. As an application we give a condition on a cobordism between graph manifolds that guarantees that they are homeomorphic. This in t

✦ Synopsis
A graph G has constant # = #(G) if any two vertices that are not adjacent have # common neighbours. G has constant/~ and fi if G has constant ~ = #(G), and its complement G has constant fi = #(G). If such a graph is regular, then it is strongly regular, otherwise precisely two vertex degrees occur. We shall prove that a connected graph has constant # and fi if and only if it has two distinct nonzero Laplace eigenvalues. This leads to strong conditions for existence. Several constructions are given and characterized. A list of feasible parameter sets for graphs with at most 40 vertices is generated.

By a square in an undirected graph ⌫ , we mean a cycle x , y , z , w such that x is not adjacent to z and y is not adjacent to w . Suppose that ⌫ is a strongly regular graph with ϭ 2 , and assume that ⌫ does not contain a square . Pick any vertex x of ⌫ and let ⌫ Ј denote the induced subgraph on the
