Abstract
Let be a finite group, let be the set of prime divisors of and let be the prime graph of . This graph has vertex set , and two vertices and are adjacent if and only if contains an element of order . Many properties of these graphs have been studied in recent years, with a particular focus on the prime graphs of finite simple groups. In this note, we determine the pairs , where is simple and is a proper subgroup of such that .
