Abstract

In this paper we investigate the directeddirected normalizingnormalizing graphgraph associated with a group GG, defined as the simple directed graph whose vertices are the elements of GG, with an arrow from xx to yy whenever the subgroup x\langle x \rangle is normal in x,y\langle x, y \rangle. Our analysis focuses on the set of bidirectional universal vertices and, in particular, on the induced subgraph obtained by removing them, where the most interesting connectivity phenomena occur. We characterize the groups for which this induced subgraph is strongly connected and determine bounds for its diameter. Finally, we show how properties of this graph reflect algebraic features of the underlying group.
