Abstract

Let GG be a non-abelian group and Z(G)Z(G) be the center of GG. Associate a graph ΓG\Gamma_G (called non-commuting graph of GG) with GG as follows: take GZ(G)G\setminus Z(G) as the vertices of ΓG\Gamma_G and join two distinct vertices xx and yy, whenever xyyxxy\neq yx. Here, we prove that "the commutativity pattern of a finite non-abelian pp-group determine its order among the class of groups"; this means that if PP is a finite non-abelian pp-group such that ΓPΓH\Gamma_P\cong \Gamma_H for some group HH, then P=H|P|=|H|.
