Abstract
There are several graphs defined on groups. Among them we consider graphs whose vertex set consists conjugacy classes of a group and adjacency is defined by properties of the elements of conjugacy classes. In particular, we consider commuting/nilpotent/solvable conjugacy class graph of where two distinct conjugacy classes and are adjacent if there exist some elements and such that is abelian/nilpotent/solvable. After a section of introductory results and examples, we discuss all the available results on connectedness, graph realization, genus, various spectra and energies of certain induced subgraphs of these graphs. Proofs of the results are not included. However, many open problems for further investigation are stated.
有几种图定义在群上。其中,我们考虑顶点集由群 G 的共轭类组成的图,其相邻性由共轭类元素的属性定义。特别是,我们考虑 G 的换元/零能/可解共轭类图,其中如果存在一些元素 x∈aG 和 y∈bG 使得〈x,y〉是无性/零能/可解的〈x,y〉,则两个不同的共轭类 aG 和 bG 相邻。在介绍性结果和示例部分之后,我们讨论了关于这些图的连通性、图实现、属性、各种谱和某些诱导子图的能量的所有可用结果。结果的证明不包括在内。不过,我们也指出了许多有待进一步研究的开放性问题。
期刊介绍:
Our aim is to publish papers of interest to a wide mathematical audience. Our main interest is in expository articles that make high-level research results more widely accessible. In general, material submitted should be at least at the graduate level.Main articles must be written in such a way that a graduate-level research student interested in the topic of the paper can read them profitably. When the topic is quite specialized, or the main focus is a narrow research result, the paper is probably not appropriate for this journal. Most original research articles are not suitable for this journal, unless they have particularly broad appeal.Mathematical notes can be more focused than main articles. These should not simply be short research articles, but should address a mathematical question with reasonably broad appeal. Elementary solutions of elementary problems are typically not appropriate. Neither are overly technical papers, which should best be submitted to a specialized research journal.Clarity of exposition, accuracy of details and the relevance and interest of the subject matter will be the decisive factors in our acceptance of an article for publication. Submitted papers are subject to a quick overview before entering into a more detailed review process. All published papers have been refereed.
