Abstract

Given a finite group GG with a normal subgroup NN, the simple graph ΓG(N)\Gamma_\textit{G}( \textit{N} ) is a graph whose vertices are of the form xG|x^G|, where xNZ(G)x\in{N\setminus{Z(G)}}, and xGx^G is the GG-conjugacy class of NN containing the element xx. Two vertices xG|x^G| and yG|y^G| are adjacent if they are not co-prime. In this article we prove that, if ΓG(N)\Gamma_G(N) is a connected incomplete regular graph, then N=P×AN= P \times{A} where PP is a pp-group, for some prime pp and AZ(G)A\leq{Z(G)}, and Z(N)NZ(G){\bf Z}(N)\not = N\cap {\bf Z}(G).
