Spectrum and energy of non-commuting graphs of finite groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group and $Γ_{nc}(G)$ be its non-commuting graph. In this paper, we compute spectrum and energy of $Γ_{nc}(G)$ for certain classes of finite groups. As a consequence of our results we construct infinite families of integral complete $r$-partite graphs. We compare energy and Laplacian energy (denoted by $E(Γ_{nc}(G))$ and $LE(Γ_{nc}(G))$ respectively) of $Γ_{nc}(G)$ and conclude that $E(Γ_{nc}(G)) \leq LE(Γ_{nc}(G))$ for those groups except for some non-abelian groups of order $pq$. This shows that the conjecture posed in [Gutman, I., Abreu, N. M. M., Vinagre, C. T.M., Bonifacioa, A. S and Radenkovic, S. Relation between energy and Laplacian energy, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem., 59: 343--354, (2008)] does not hold for non-commuting graphs of certain finite groups, which also produces new families of counter examples to the above mentioned conjecture.

Finiteness conditions on skew braces and solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

A finite non-degenerate set-theoretic solution $(X,r)$ of the Yang-Baxter equation gives rise to a structure skew brace $B(X,r)$ that is a $λ_f$-skew brace, i.e. every element has finitely many $λ$-images, and whose additive group is $FC$. This motivates the study of finiteness conditions on skew braces. We first study the general class of $λ_f$ skew braces and the subclass where the additive group is $FC$, showing that these properties share a resemblance to finite conjugacy, having an analog of the $FC$-center and several analogous structural results. Furthermore, by passing through the structure skew brace of a solution, this property measures whether elements are contained in a finite decomposition factor, identifying a class of infinite solutions that may exhibit similar properties to finite ones. Finally, we show that for a sub skew brace where both groups have finite index, both indices need to coincide and that such a sub skew brace contains a strong left ideal of finite index.

Non-uniform exponential growth and the decay of growth rates in growing dimensions

We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group $V$. Our methods also show that the infimal exponential growth rates of $\mathrm{Aut}(F_{2^{n+2}})$ and of $\mathrm{EL}_{2^{n+2}}(R)$, for every finitely generated ring $R$, tend to $1$. As an application, we obtain the first example of an acylindrically hyperbolic group, and the first example of a Kazhdan group, of non-uniform exponential growth.

Solvable Supplements to Normalizers of Cyclic 2-Subgroups

Amberg and Kazarin proved that a finite group is solvable if the normalizer of every cyclic subgroup of prime power order has a solvable supplement. We substantially relax this hypothesis by requiring it only for cyclic $2$-subgroups. This condition, denoted by $\mathrm{SSN}_2$, sharply restricts the nonabelian composition factors of the group to the family $\PSL_2(q)$, where $q\geq7$ is a prime power satisfying $q\equiv3\pmod4$. Conversely, this family is precisely the nonabelian finite simple groups that satisfy $\mathrm{SSN}_2$. Consequently, a finite group satisfying $\mathrm{SSN}_2$ is solvable if and only if it has no section isomorphic to one of these groups.
