Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and N(G)N(G) be the set of its conjugacy class sizes excluding~11. Let us define a directed graph Γ(G)\Gamma(G), the set of vertices of this graph is N(G)N(G) and the vertices xx and yy are connected by a directed edge from xx to yy if xx divides yy and N(G)N(G) does not contain a number zz different from xx and yy such that xx divides zz and zz divides yy. We will call the graph Γ(G)\Gamma(G) the conjugate graph of the group GG. In this work, we will study finite groups whose conjugate graph is a set of points.
