Abstract

Given a finite group GG and a subset XX of GG, the commuting graph of GG on XX, denoted by C(G,X){\cal C}(G,X), is the graph that has XX as its vertex set with x,yXx,y\in X joined by an edge whenever xyx\neq y and xy=yxxy=yx. Let TT be a transversal of the center Z(G)Z(G) of GG. When GG is a finite non-abelian group and X=TZ(G)X=T\setminus Z(G), we denote the graph C(G,X){\cal C}(G,X) by T(G){\cal T}(G). In this paper, we show that T(G){\cal T}(G) is a connected strongly regular graph if and only if GG is isoclinic to an extraspecial 22-group of order at least 3232. We also characterize the finite non-abelian groups GG for which the graph T(G){\cal T}(G) is disconnected strongly regular.
