Non-commuting graphs of nilpotent groups

Group Theory 2013-04-18 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a non-abelian group and Z(G)Z(G) be the center of GG. The non-commuting graph ΓG\Gamma_G associated to GG is the graph whose vertex set is GZ(G)G\setminus Z(G) and two distinct elements x,yx,y are adjacent if and only if xyyxxy\neq yx. We prove that if GG and HH are non-abelian nilpotent groups with irregular isomorphic non-commuting graphs, then G=H|G|=|H|.
