Abstract

Let GG be a finite non-solvable group with solvable radical Sol(G)Sol(G). The solvable graph Γs(G)\Gamma_s(G) of GG is a graph with vertex set GSol(G)G\setminus Sol(G) and two distinct vertices uu and vv are adjacent if and only if u,v\langle u, v \rangle is solvable. We show that Γs(G)\Gamma_s (G) is not a star graph, a tree, an nn-partite graph for any positive integer n2n \geq 2 and not a regular graph for any non-solvable finite group GG. We compute the girth of Γs(G)\Gamma_s (G) and derive a lower bound of the clique number of Γs(G)\Gamma_s (G). We prove the non-existence of finite non-solvable groups whose solvable graphs are planar, toroidal, double-toroidal, triple-toroidal or projective. We conclude the paper by obtaining a relation between Γs(G)\Gamma_s (G) and the solvability degree of GG.
