Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and Irr(G)\mathrm{Irr}(G) be the set of all complex irreducible characters of GG. The character-graph Δ(G)\Delta(G) associated to GG, is a graph whose vertex set is the set of primes which divide the degrees of some characters in Irr(G)\mathrm{Irr}(G) and two distinct primes pp and qq are adjacent in Δ(G)\Delta(G) if the product pqpq divides χ(1)\chi(1), for some χIrr(G)\chi\in\mathrm{Irr}(G). Tong-viet posed the conjecture that if Δ(G)\Delta(G) is kk-regular for some integer k2k\geqslant 2, then Δ(G)\Delta(G) is either a complete graph or a cocktail party graph. In this paper, we show that his conjecture is true for all regular character-graphs whose eigenvalues are in the interval [2,)[-2, \infty ).
