The power graph of a group [Formula: see text] is the graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. This paper investigates the minimal separating sets of power graphs of finite groups. For power graphs of finite cyclic groups, certain minimal separating sets are obtained. Consequently, a sharp upper bound for their connectivity is supplied. Further, the components of proper power graphs of [Formula: see text]-groups are studied. In particular, the number of components of that of abelian [Formula: see text]-groups are determined.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. The power graph of [Formula: see text] is the undirected graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The reduced power graph of [Formula: see text] is the subgraph of the power graph of [Formula: see text] obtained by deleting all edges [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two distinct elements of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the proper connection number of the reduced power graph of [Formula: see text]. As an application, we also determine the proper connection number of the power graph of [Formula: see text].

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a finite group [Formula: see text] is the undirected simple graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the number of distinct prime divisors of [Formula: see text]. The minimum degree [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is known for [Formula: see text], see [R. P. Panda and K. V. Krishna, On the minimum degree, edge-connectivity and connectivity of power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 46(7) (2018) 3182–3197]. For [Formula: see text], under certain conditions involving the prime divisors of [Formula: see text], we identify at most [Formula: see text] vertices such that [Formula: see text] is equal to the degree of at least one of these vertices. If [Formula: see text], or that [Formula: see text] is a product of distinct primes, we are able to identify two such vertices without any condition on the prime divisors of [Formula: see text].

Let G be a finite group. The power graph P(G) and its main supergraph S(G) are two simple graphs with the same vertex set G. Two elements x,y ? G are adjacent in the power graph if and only if one is a power of the other. They are joined in S(G) if and only if o(x)|o(y) or o(y)|o(x). The aim of this paper is to compute the characteristic polynomial of these graph for certain finite groups. As a consequence, the spectrum and Laplacian spectrum of these graphs for dihedral, semi-dihedral, cyclic and dicyclic groups were computed.

Abstract The power graph of a finite group is the graph whose vertex set is the group, two distinct elements being adjacent if one is a power of the other. The enhanced power graph of a finite group is the graph whose vertex set consists of all elements of the group, in which two vertices are adjacent if they generate a cyclic subgroup. In this paper, we give a complete description of finite groups with enhanced power graphs admitting a perfect code. In addition, we describe all groups in the following two classes of finite groups: the class of groups with power graphs admitting a total perfect code, and the class of groups with enhanced power graphs admitting a total perfect code. Furthermore, we characterize several families of finite groups with power graphs admitting a perfect code, and several other families of finite groups with power graphs which do not admit perfect codes.

The power graph of a group [Formula: see text] is the simple graph [Formula: see text], with vertex-set [Formula: see text] and vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent, if and only if [Formula: see text] and either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] for some positive integer [Formula: see text]. The proper power graph of [Formula: see text], denoted [Formula: see text], is the graph obtained from [Formula: see text] by deleting the vertex [Formula: see text]. In [On the connectivity of proper power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 43 (2015) 4305–4319], it is proved that if [Formula: see text] and neither [Formula: see text] nor [Formula: see text] is a prime, then [Formula: see text] is connected and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we improve the diameter bound of [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is connected. We show that [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. We also describe a number of short paths in these power graphs.

The power graph P(G) of a group G is the graph with vertex set G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. Two finite groups are said to be conformal, if they contain the same number of elements of each order. Let Y be a family of all non-isomorphic odd order finite nilpotent groups of class two or p-groups of class less than p. In this paper, we prove that the power graph of each group in Y is isomorphic to the power graph of an abelian group and two groups in Y have isomorphic power graphs if they are conformal. We determine the number of maximal cyclic subgroups of a generalized extraspecial p-group (p odd) by determining the power graph of this group. We also determine the power graph of a p-group of order p4 (p odd).

The power graph of a group is the graph whose vertex set is the set of nontrivial elements of group, two elements being adjacent if one is a power of the other. We prove some beautiful results in power graphs of finite groups. Then we conclude two finite groups with isomorphic power graphs have the same number of elements of each order from the different way of [P. J. Cameron, The power graph of a finite group II, J. Group Theory 13 (2010) 779–783].

Given a group [Formula: see text], the enhanced power graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are edge connected in [Formula: see text] if there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text]. Here, we show that the graph [Formula: see text] is complete if and only if [Formula: see text] is cyclic; and [Formula: see text] is Eulerian if and only if [Formula: see text] is odd. We characterize all abelian groups and all non-abelian [Formula: see text]-groups [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is dominatable. Besides, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the maximal cliques in [Formula: see text] and the maximal cyclic subgroups of [Formula: see text].

Abstract The intersection power graph of a finite group G G is the graph whose vertex set is G G , and two distinct vertices x x and y y are adjacent if either one of x x and y y is the identity element of G G , or ⟨ x ⟩ ∩ ⟨ y ⟩ \langle x\rangle \cap \langle y\rangle is non-trivial. In this paper, we completely classify all finite groups whose intersection power graphs are toroidal and projective-planar.

Let G be a nite group. The power graph P(G) of a group G is the graphwhose vertex set is the group elements and two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The commuting graph \Delta(G) of a group G, is the graph whose vertices are the group elements, two of them joined if they commute. When the vertex set is G-Z(G), this graph is denoted by \Gamma(G). Since the results based on the automorphism group of these kinds of graphs are so sporadic, in this paper, we give a survey of all results on the automorphism group of power graphs and commuting graphs obtained in the literature.
