ABSTRACT:

We represent finite group in the form of graphs. These graphs are called order prime graphs. In this paper we shall study order prime graphs of finite groups  (multiplicative group of integers modulo n) and  (Klein’s four group).

1.      INTRODUCTION:

The phenomenon of representing Groups using Graphs has been studied theoretically by number of researchers [6,7,8,13,14,15]. In a series of investigations, S. Akbari and A. Mohammadian [1] discussed the zero divisor graphs of finite rings. In [17], maximum finite groups are represented as graphs with examples, diagrams and theorems. In this paper, we give order prime graphs of finite groups  (multiplicative group of integers modulo n) and  (Klein’s four group).

 

2.      ORDER PRIME GRAPH OF A GROUP:

2.1. Definition: Let Γ be a finite group. The order prime graph OP(Γ) of a group Γ is a graph with                      V (OP(Γ)) = Γ and two vertices a and b are adjacent in OP(Γ) if and only if (o(a), o(b)) = 1. Here o(a), o(b) respectively denote the orders of a and b .
