Characterization of $\mathrm{SL}(2,q)$ by its non-commuting graphAlireza AbdollahiDepartment of Mathematics, University of Isfahan, Isfahan 81746-73441, Iran, and School of Mathematics, Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Tehran, Iran e-mail: abdollahi@member.ams.orgAbstract: Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and $Z(G)$ be its center. The non-commuting graph $\mathcal{A}_G$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G\backslash Z(G)$ and two vertices are joined by an edge if they do not commute. Let $\mathrm{SL}(2,q)$ be the special linear group of degree 2 over the finite field of order $q$. In this paper we prove that if $G$ is a group such that $\mathcal{A}_G\cong \mathcal{A}_{\mathrm{SL}(2,q)}$ for some prime power $q\geq 2$, then $G\cong \mathrm{SL}(2,q)$. Keywords: non-commuting graph, general linear group, special linear group Classification (MSC2000): 20D60 Full text of the article:
