Spectra of the subdivision-vertex and subdivision-edge coronae

The subdivision graph $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph obtained by inserting a new vertex into every edge of $G$. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two vertex disjoint graphs. The \emph{subdivision-vertex corona} of $G_1$ and $G_2$, denoted by $G_1\odot G_2$, is the graph obtained from $\mathcal{S}(G_1)$ and $\mathrm{\mid }V(G_1)\mathrm{\mid }$ copies of $G_2$, all vertex-disjoint, by joining the $i$th vertex of $V(G_1)$ to every vertex in the $i$th copy of $G_2$. The \emph{subdivision-edge corona} of $G_1$ and $G_2$, denoted by $G_1\circleddash G_2$,isthegraphobtainedfrom$$\mathcal{S}$(G_1)$and$|I(G_1)|$copiesof$G_2$,allvertex-disjoint,byjoiningthe$i$thvertexof$I(G_1)$ to every vertex in the $i$th copy of $G_2$, where $I(G_1)$ is the set of inserted vertices of $\mathcal{S}(G_1)$. In this paper we determine the adjacency spectra, the Laplacian spectra and the signless Laplacian spectra of $G_1\odot G_2$(respectively,$G_1\circleddash G_2$) in terms of the corresponding spectra of $G_1$ and $G_2$. As applications, the results on the spectra of $G_1\odot G_2$ (respectively, $G_1⊝G_2$) enable us to construct infinitely many pairs of cospectral graphs. The adjacency spectra of $G_1\odot G_2$(respectively,$G_1\circleddash G_2$) help us to construct many infinite families of integral graphs. By using the Laplacian spectra, we also obtain the number of spanning trees and Kirchhoff index of $G_1\odot G_2$ and $G_1⊝G_2$, respectively.
