Calling Sequence

GruenbergKegelGraph( G )

Parameters

G

-

a small group

Description

• 

For a finite group , the Gruenberg-Kegel graph (also known as the prime graph) of  is the graph with vertices the prime divisors of the order of , and for which two vertices  and  are adjacent if  has an element of order .

• 

The GruenbergKegelGraph( 'G' ) command returns the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of the finite group G.

• 

Commands in the GraphTheory package can be used to visualize the graph returned by this command, as well as to analyze its properties.

Examples

The vertices of the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of the Monster sporadic finite simple group are the so-called supersingular primes.

(1)

The self-loops indicate those supersingular primes  for which the Monster has an element of order .

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a Frobenius group is never connected.
