Abstract

Let $G^\sigma$ be an oriented graph with underlying simple graph $G$. The skew-adjacency matrix of $G^\sigma$ is the $\{0, 1, -1\}$-matrix $S=S(G^\sigma)=[s_{ij}]$, such that $s_{ij}=1$ if $(v_i, v_j)$ is an arc in $G^\sigma$, $s_{ij}=-1$ if $(v_j, v_i)$ is an arc in $G^\sigma$ and $s_{ij}=0$, otherwise. In this paper, all connected oriented graphs with three distinct skew-eigenvalues $0$ and $\pm 2 \mathbf{i}$ are characterized.
