Abstract

Let GG be a non-abelian group and Z(G)Z(G) be its center. The non-commuting graph AG\mathcal{A}_G of GG is the graph whose vertex set is G\Z(G)G\backslash Z(G) and two vertices are joined by an edge if they do not commute. Let SL(2,q)\mathrm{SL}(2,q) be the special linear group of degree 2 over the finite field of order qq. In this paper we prove that if GG is a group such that AGASL(2,q)\mathcal{A}_G\cong \mathcal{A}_{\mathrm{SL}(2,q)} for some prime power q2q\geq 2, then GSL(2,q)G\cong \mathrm{SL}(2,q).
