A few remarks on the theory of non-nilpotent graphs

Group Theory 2023-10-27 v2

Abstract

We prove a few results about non-nilpotent graphs of symmetric groups SnS_n -- namely that they have a Hamiltonian cycle and they satisfy a conjecture of Nongsiang and Saikia. The latter is likewise proven for alternating groups AnA_n. We also show that the class of non-nilpotent graphs does not have any ''local'' properties, ie. for every simple graph XX there is a group GG, such that its non-nilpotent graph has XX as an induced subgraph.
