Abstract

Given a finite group GG, its prime graph Γ(G)\Gamma(G) (also known as its Gruenberg-Kegel graph) is the graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of G|G| and where edges {p,q}\{p, q\} exist whenever GG contains an element of order pqpq. We continue the study of prime graphs for TT-solvable groups; that is, groups whose composition factors are either abelian or isomorphic to some fixed non-abelian simple group TT. For a large class of non-abelian simple groups TT, we prove that the prime graph complements of TT-solvable groups are always realizable by a solvable group and a quasi simple or almost simple TT-solvable group acting by automorphisms on a direct product of elementary abelian groups. We conjecture that a similar result holds in full generality. Moreover, we apply our result to classify in purely graph-theoretic terms the prime graph complements of PSL(2,13)\operatorname{PSL}(2,13)-solvable groups, and indicate other interesting classes of groups matching the assumptions of our main theorem.
