Abstract

Let GG be a group. The intersection graph of cyclic subgroups of GG, denoted by Ic(G)\mathscr I_c(G), is a graph having all the proper cyclic subgroups of GG as its vertices and two distinct vertices in Ic(G)\mathscr I_c(G) are adjacent if and only if their intersection is non-trivial. In this paper, we classify the finite groups whose intersection graph of cyclic subgroups is one of totally disconnected, complete, star, path, cycle. We show that for a given finite group GG, girth(Ic(G)){3,}girth(\mathscr I_c (G)) \in \{3, \infty\}. Moreover, we classify all finite non-cyclic abelian groups whose intersection graph of cyclic subgroups is planar. Also for any group GG, we determine the independence number, clique cover number of Ic(G)\mathscr I_c (G) and show that Ic(G)\mathscr I_c (G) is weakly α\alpha-perfect. Among the other results, we determine the values of nn for which Ic(Zn)\mathscr I_c (\mathbb{Z}_n) is regular and estimate its domination number.
