The distinguishing index of a graph. This is the smallest number of colours such that there is a colouring of the edges which is not preserved by any automorphism. If the graph has a connected component which is a single edge, or at least two isolated vertices, this statistic is undefined.

The rigidity index of a graph. A base of a permutation group is a set $B$ such that the pointwise stabilizer of $B$ is trivial. For example, a base of the symmetric group on $n$ letters must contain all but one letter. This statistic yields the minimal size of a base for the automorphism group of a graph.

The maximal multiplicity of an eigenvalue in a graph.

The largest multiplicity of a distance Laplacian eigenvalue in a connected graph. The distance Laplacian of a graph is the (symmetric) matrix with row and column sums $0$, which has the negative distances between two vertices as its off-diagonal entries. This statistic is the largest multiplicity of an eigenvalue. For example, the cycle on four vertices has distance Laplacian $$ \left(\begin{array}{rrrr} 4 & -1 & -2 & -1 \\ -1 & 4 & -1 & -2 \\ -2 & -1 & 4 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 & -1 & 4 \end{array}\right). $$ Its eigenvalues are $0,4,4,6$, so the statistic is $2$. The path on four vertices has eigenvalues $0, 4.7\dots, 6, 9.2\dots$ and therefore statistic $1$.

The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.
