Characterizing finite nilpotent groups associated with a graph theoretic equality

TLDR
The power graph of a group is defined as the simple graph whose vertices are the group elements and two nodes are adjacent whenever one of them is a positive power of the other.
Abstract
The power graph of a group is the simple graph whose vertices are the group elements and two vertices are adjacent whenever one of them is a positive power of the other. In this paper, we characterize the finite nilpotent groups whose power graphs have equal vertex connectivity and minimum degree.

On the minimum degree of power graphs of finite nilpotent groups

TL;DR: In this article , the minimum degree δ(P(G)) of a power graph P(G) of a non-cyclic nilpotent group G was studied under some conditions involving the prime divisors of |G| and the Sylow subgroups of G.

The power graph of a finite group, II

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the undirected power graph determines the directed power graph up to isomorphism, and that two finite groups which have isomorphic undirectED power graphs have the same number of elements of each order.

Some applications of graph theory to finite groups

TL;DR: Results on vertex coloring and the vertex independence number of a finite graph are used to prove the theorem that G cannot be covered by the union of fewer than [|G|^1^3] abelian subgroups.
