AbstractErdős introduced the noncommuting graph in order to study the number of commuting elements in a finite group. Despite the use of combinatorial ideas, his methods involved several techniques of classical analysis. The interest for this graph has become relevant during the last years for various reasons. Here we deal with a numerical aspect, showing for the first time an isoperimetric inequality and an analytic condition in terms of Sobolev inequalities. This last result holds in the more general context of weighted locally finite graphs.

Answering a question of Diestel, we develop a topological notion of gammoids in infinite graphs which, unlike traditional infinite gammoids, always define a matroid.As our main tool, we prove for any infinite graph $G$ with vertex-sets $A$ and $B$, if every finite subset of $A$ is linked to $B$ by disjoint paths, then the whole of $A$ can be linked to the closure of $B$ by disjoint paths or rays in a natural topology on $G$ and its ends.This latter theorem implies the topological Menger theorem of Diestel for locally finite graphs. It also implies a special case of the infinite Menger theorem of Aharoni and Berger.

We expand on Tutte's theory of $3$-blocks for $2$-connected graphs, generalizing it to apply to infinite, locally finite graphs, and giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a labeled tree to be the $3$-block tree of a $2$-connected graph.

1. If P is any property of groups, then we say that a group G is ‘locally P’ if every finitely generated subgroup of G satisfies P. In this paper we shall be chiefly concerned with the case when P is the property of being nilpotent, and will examine some properties of nilpotent groups which also hold for locally nilpotent groups. Examples of locally nilpotent groups are the locally finite p-groups (groups such that every finite subset is contained in a finite group of order a power of the prime p); indeed, every periodic locally nilpotent group is the direct product of locally finite p-groups.

1. Tutte(10) has given necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a finite graph have a perfect matching. A different proof was given by Gallai(4). Berge(1) (and Ore (7)) generalized Tutte's result by determining the maximum cardinality of a matching in a finite graph. In his original proof Tutte used the method of skew symmetric determinants (or pfaffians) while Gallai and Berge used the much exploited method of alternating paths. Another proof of Berge's theorem, along with an efficient algorithm for constructing a matching of maximum cardinality, was given by Edmonds (2). In another paper (12) Tutte extended his conditions for a perfect matching to locally finite graphs.
