Abstract
Let be a finite group and let be the group of normalized units of its integral group ring. We prove that every -prime arc of either already occurs in or admits commuting witnesses of distinct prime orders. Writing for the arc set of a directed graph , for the edge set of an undirected graph, and for the two orientations of the edges in , this is equivalent to the exact formula Consequently, the -Prime Graph Question has an affirmative answer for if and only if the Prime Graph Question does.
