I tried to draw two graphs with Tikz. How can I align them vertically to each other? I want the knots to form the center, such that all six nodes align vertically. Furthermore I want to align the curly brackets using the nodes. But that does not work either. I want the parentheses to start at the beginning of the first node and end at the end of the last node. How can I do that?

This is what I get:

This is what I would like to have:

This code produces the picture above:

as i mentioned, merging bot tikzpictures in one enable better controlling their elements positions:

edit:
position of braces are corrected acoording to new explanation in question

in above mwe are:

• used recent syntax for defining nodes and other elements style (tikzstyle is obsolete, you should use tizset or as is used in mwe as options of tikzpicture)


• libraries should be loaded in document preamble


• never use names as node , which is already used as one of key element of the tikz
  


• it is sensible to define the common style for braces

result is:

You can draw this scheme with two matrix of math nodes delimited by braces and two labels for left and right text:

documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone} 

usetikzlibrary{positioning, matrix}



begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[%

    ball/.style={circle, minimum size=6mm, inner sep=0pt, draw},

    vector/.style={%

        matrix of math nodes, inner sep=0pt,

        row sep=2pt, nodes={ball, anchor=center}, 

        left delimiter={, right delimiter =}}

]



matrix[vector, 

    label={[label distance=3mm]left:{$v$}}, 

    label={[label distance=3mm]right:{$g(v)$}}] (v1) 

    {w_1\w_2\w_3\};



matrix[vector, 

    label={[label distance=3mm]left:{$mathcal{K}=U*V*W$}}, 

    label={[label distance=3mm]right:{$g(v)$}}, below=3mm of v1] (v2) 

    {u_1\u_2\u_3\};

end{tikzpicture}

Thanks for adding a sketch. I take that you want to draw the braces with TikZ methods. Other than that, what you have looks like an equation, where you can use align to aliggn stuff. I left it in a figure environment.
