چکیده

Introduction: When G is a finite group, we may endow G×G with the structure of a probability space by assigning the uniform distribution. As was pointed out by W.H. Gustafson [10], the probability that a randomly chosen pair of elements of G commute is then k(G) |G| , where k(G) is the number of conjugacy classes of G. We denote this probability by cp(G). It was also noted in [10] that cp(G) ≤ 58 for any non-Abelian finite group G and equality holds precisely when [G : Z(G)] = 4.

Relative n-th non-commuting graphs of finite groups

‎Suppose $n$ is a fixed positive integer‎. ‎We introduce the relative n-th non-commuting graph $Gamma^{n} _{H,G}$‎, ‎associated to the non-abelian subgroup $H$ of group $G$‎. ‎The vertex set is $Gsetminus C^n_{H,G}$ in which $C^n_{H,G} = {xin G‎ : ‎[x,y^{n}]=1 mbox{~and~} [x^{n},y]=1mbox{~for~all~} yin H}$‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎${x,y}$ is an edge if $x$ or $y$ belong to $H$ and $xy^{n}eq y^{n}x$ or $x...

On Laplacian energy of non-commuting graphs of finite groups

‎Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group with center $Z(G)$‎. ‎The non-commuting graph of $G$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $Gsetminus Z(G)$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy ne yx$‎. ‎In this paper‎, we compute Laplacian energy of the non-commuting graphs of some classes of finite non-abelian groups‎..

Pairwise‎ ‎non-commuting elements in finite metacyclic $2$-groups and some finite $p$-groups

Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute‎. ‎In this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.

A Kind of Non-commuting Graph of Finite Groups

Let g be a fixed element of a finite group G. We introduce the g-noncommuting graph of G whose vertex set is whole elements of the group G and two vertices x,y are adjacent whenever [x,y] g  and  [y,x] g. We denote this graph by . In this paper, we present some graph theoretical properties of g-noncommuting graph. Specially, we investigate about its planarity and regularity, its clique number a...
