Abstract

Let GG be a finite group, and let Δ(G)\Delta(G) denote the \emph{prime graph} built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of GG. It is well known that, whenever Δ(G)\Delta(G) is connected, the diameter of Δ(G)\Delta(G) is at most 33. In the present paper, we provide a description of the finite solvable groups for which the diameter of this graph attains the upper bound. This also enables us to confirm a couple of conjectures proposed by M.L. Lewis.
