The commuting graphs of certain cyclic-by-abelian groups

Group Theory 2024-11-27 v2

Abstract

Let GG be a finite, non-abelian group of the form G=ANG = A N, where AGA \leq G is abelian, and NGN \trianglelefteq G is cyclic. We prove that the commuting graph Γ(G)\Gamma(G) of GG is either a connected graph of diameter at most four, or the disjoint union of G+1|G'| + 1 complete graphs. These results apply to all finite metacyclic groups, and to groups of square-free order in particular.
