AbstractThe interplay between groups and graphs have been the most famous and productive area of algebraic graph theory. In this paper, we introduce and study the graphs whose vertex set is group G such that two distinct vertices a and b having di erent orders are adjacent provided that o(a) divides o(b) or o(b) divides o(a).

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.

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.

Number Of Spanning Trees

The number of spanning trees of a graph $G$ is called the complexity of $G$. A classical result in algebraic graph theory explicitly diagonalizes the Laplacian of the $n$-cube $C(n)$  and yields, using the Matrix-Tree theorem, an explicit formula for $c(C(n))$. In this paper we explicitly block diagonalize the Laplacian of the $q$-analog $C_q(n)$ of $C(n)$ and use this, along with the Matrix-Tree theorem, to give a positive combinatorial formula for $c(C_q(n))$. We also explain how setting $q=1$ in the formula for $c(C_q(n))$ recovers the formula for $c(C(n))$.

A Finite Group

The enhanced power graph [Formula: see text] of a group [Formula: see text] is the graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] such that two vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if they are contained in the same cyclic subgroup. We prove that finite groups with isomorphic enhanced power graphs have isomorphic directed power graphs. We show that any isomorphism between undirected power graph of finite groups is an isomorphism between enhanced power graphs of these groups, and we find all finite groups [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is abelian, all finite groups [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] being prime power, and all finite groups [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] being square-free. Also, we describe enhanced power graphs of finite abelian groups. Finally, we give a characterization of finite nilpotent groups whose enhanced power graphs are perfect, and we present a sufficient condition for a finite group to have weakly perfect enhanced power graph.

Combinatorial Analysis

The aim of this paper is to present a unified treatment of certain theorems in Combinatorial Analysis (particularly in enumerative graph theory), and their relations to various results concerning symmetric functions and the characters of the symmetric groups. In particular, it treats of the simplification that is achieved by working with S-functions in preference to other symmetric functions when dealing with combinatorial problems. In this way it helps to draw closer together the two subjects of Combinatorial Analysis and the theory of Finite Groups. The paper is mainly expository; it contains little that is really new, though it displays several old results in a new setting.

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 permutability graph of subgroups of a given group G, denoted by Γ(G), is a graph with vertex set consists of all the proper subgroups of G and two distinct vertices in Γ(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding subgroups permute in G. In this paper, we classify the finite groups whose permutability graphs of subgroups are one of bipartite, star graph, C3-free, C5-free, K4-free, K5-free, K1,4-free, K2,3-free or Pn-free (n = 2, 3, 4). We investigate the same for infinite groups also. Moreover, some results on the girth, completeness and regularity of the permutability graphs of subgroups of groups are obtained. Among the other results, we characterize groups Q8, S3 and A4 by using their permutability graphs of subgroups.
