Abstract

Let GG be a group and Sol(G)={xG:x,y is solvable for all yG}Sol(G)=\{x \in G : \langle x,y \rangle \text{ is solvable for all } y \in G\}. We associate a graph NSG\mathcal{NS}_G (called the non-solvable graph of GG) with GG whose vertex set is GSol(G)G \setminus Sol(G) and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they generate a non-solvable subgroup. In this paper we study many properties of NSG\mathcal{NS}_G. In particular, we obtain results on vertex degree, cardinality of vertex degree set, graph realization, domination number, vertex connectivity, independence number and clique number of NSG\mathcal{NS}_G. We also consider two groups GG and HH having isomorphic non-solvable graphs and derive some properties of GG and HH. Finally, we conclude this paper by showing that NSG\mathcal{NS}_G is neither planar, toroidal, double-toroidal, triple-toroidal nor projective.
