Degree graphs of simple orthogonal and symplectic groups. (Q2474487)

Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(\text{cd}(G)\) the set of irreducible ordinary character degrees of \(G\). The degree graph \(\Delta(G)\) of \(G\) was defined by \textit{O. Manz, R. Staszewski} and \textit{W. Willems} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 103, No. 1, 31-37 (1988; Zbl 0645.20005)]. In this paper, the author determines the graph \(\Delta(G)\) for the finite simple groups of types \(B_n\), \(C_n\), \(D_n\) and \(^2D_n\). With other papers the author determines the graph \(\Delta(G)\) for all finite simple groups by the CFSG [see \textit{D. L. White}, Commun. Algebra 32, No. 9, 3641-3649 (2004; Zbl 1077.20013), ibid. 34, No. 8, 2907-2921 (2006; Zbl 1105.20007); \textit{M. L. Lewis} and \textit{D. L. White}, J. Algebra 283, No. 1, 80-92 (2005; Zbl 1100.20014); \textit{M. J. J. Barry} and \textit{M. B. Ward}, J. Algebra 294, No. 1, 136-155 (2005; Zbl 1081.20013)].
