Abstract

Let GG be a finite group. For xGx \in G, we define the solvabilizer of xx in GG, denoted solG(x)sol_G(x), to be the set {gGg,x\{g \in G \mid \langle g,x \rangle is solvable}\}. A group GG is an S-group if solG(x)sol_G(x) is a subgroup of GG for every xGx \in G. In this paper we prove that GG is solvable \Leftrightarrow GG is an S-group. Secondly, we define the non-solvable graph of GG (denoted SG{\mathcal S}_{G}). Its vertices are GG and there is an edge between x,yGx,y \in G whenever x,y\langle x,y \rangle is not solvable. If S(G)S(G) is the solvable radical of GG and GG is not solvable, we look at the induced graph over GS(G)G \setminus S(G), denoted SG^\hat{{\mathcal S}_{G}}. We prove that if GG is not solvable, then SG^\hat{{\mathcal S}_{G}} is irregular. In addition, we prove some properties of solvabilizers and non-solvable graphs.
