The vertices of commuting graph of $\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ are non-scalar matrices; the edges are defined as pairs $(u, v)$ satisfying $uv = vu$. For $n\geqslant 3$, the diameter of this graph is at least four; we give a short proof that…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Recall that an $A$-group is a group whose Sylow subgroups are all abelian. In this paper, we investigate the upper bound on the diameter of the commuting graph of a solvable $A$-group. Assuming that the commuting…

We will give a short proof of the fact that if the algebraic closure of a field $\mathbb F$ is a finite extension, then for $n\geq 3$ the commuting graph $\Gamma(M_n(\mathbb F))$ is connected and its diameter is four.

For a division ring D, finite dimensional over its center F, we give a condiction for the connectedness of the commuting graph of a matrix ring over $D$. Furthermore, we prove that if the commuting graph is connected, then its diameter is…

The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the non-central elements of $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. It is conjectured by Jafarzadeh and Iranmanesh that…

The commuting graph of a group G, denoted by Gamma(G), is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the non-central elements of G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. Let Z_m be the commutative ring of…

In this paper, we study the connectedness of the commuting graph of a general Lie algebra and provide a process to determine whether the commuting graph is connected or not, as well as to compute an upper bound for its diameter. In…

In a recent paper C. Miguel proved that the diameter of the commuting graph of the matrix ring $\mathrm{M}_n(\mathbb{R})$ is equal to $4$ either if $n=3$ or $n>4$. But the case $n=4$ remained open, since the diameter could be $4$ or $5$. In…

We compare three transitivity properties of finite graphs, namely, for a positive integer $s$, $s$-distance transitivity, $s$-geodesic transitivity and $s$-arc transitivity. It is known that if a finite graph is $s$-arc transitive but not…

We present a family of finite, non-abelian groups and propose that there are members of this family whose commuting graphs are connected and of arbitrarily large diameter. If true, this would disprove a conjecture of Iranmanesh and…

The commuting graph of a semigroup is the set of non-central elements; the edges are defined as pairs $(u,v)$ satisfying $uv=vu$. We provide an example of a field $F$ and an integer $n$ such that the commuting graph of…

We study maximal distances in the commuting graphs of matrix algebras defined over algebraically closed fields. In particular, we show that the maximal distance can be attained only between two nonderogatory matrices. We also describe…

Let $G$ be a finite, non-abelian group of the form $G = A N$, where $A \leq G$ is abelian, and $N \trianglelefteq G$ is cyclic. We prove that the commuting graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is either a connected graph of diameter at most four, or…

A graph on $2k$ vertices is path-pairable if for any pairing of the vertices the pairs can be joined by edge-disjoint paths. The so far known families of path-pairable graphs have diameter of length at most 3. In this paper we present an…

Let $G$ be a group such that $G/Z(G)$ is finite and simple. The non-commuting, non-generating graph $\Xi(G)$ of $G$ has vertex set $G \setminus Z(G)$, with edges corresponding to pairs of elements that do not commute and do not generate…

We show that every triangulation (maximal planar graph) on $n\ge 6$ vertices can be flipped into a Hamiltonian triangulation using a sequence of less than $n/2$ combinatorial edge flips. The previously best upper bound uses $4$-connectivity…

Let $R$ be a noncommutative ring with identity. The commuting graph of $R$, denoted by $\Gamma(R)$, is a graph with vertex set $R \setminus Z(R)$, and two vertices $a$, $b$ are adjacent if $a\neq b$ and $ab=ba$. Let $T=Tr(R)$ be the ring of…

We prove that the diameter of the commuting graph of the full ma- trix ring over the real numbers is at most five. This answers, in the affir- mative, a conjecture proposed by Akbari-Mohammadian-radjavi-Raja, for the special case of the…

In this paper, we compute the genus of commuting graphs of non-commutative rings of order $p^4$, $p^5$, $p^2q$ and $p^3q$, where $p$ and $q$ are prime integers. We also characterize those finite rings such that their commuting graphs are…
