Abstract
In this paper, we determine the diameter of the commuting involution graphs of special and general linear groups over an arbitrary field. It turns out that our results also determine the diameter for certain projective special linear groups over finite fields. Moreover, we find the diameter of the commuting graphs of general linear groups on the set of all involutions over a field of characteristic 2, which completes the diameter of general linear groups on the set of all involutions. As an application, we classify the structure of the four-dimensional linear groups over finite fields according to the distance from a fixed involution.
