Abstract

Given a finite group GG, the generating graph Γ(G)\Gamma(G) of GG has as vertices the non-identity elements of GG and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are distinct and generate GG as group elements. Let GG be a 2-generated finite group. We prove that Γ(G)\Gamma(G) is planar if and only if GG is isomorphic to one of the following groups: C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C2×C2,D3,D4,Q8,C4×C2,D6.C_2, C_3, C_4, C_5, C_6, C_2 \times C_2, D_3, D_4, Q_8, C_4\times C_2, D_6.
