Abstract

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a group G is a simple graph whose vertex-set is G and two vertices x and y in G are adjacent if and only if one of them is a power of the other. The subgraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is obtained by deleting the vertex 1 (the identity element of G). In this paper, we first investigate some properties of the power graph [Formula: see text] and its subgraph [Formula: see text]. We next provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a power graph [Formula: see text] to be a strongly regular graph, a bipartite graph or a planar graph. Finally, we obtain some infinite families of finite groups G for which the power graph [Formula: see text] contains some cut-edges.
