The power graph of a torsion-free group determines the directed power graph

Abstract: The directed power graph

v e c m a t h c a l G (m a t h b f G)

of a group

m a t h b f G

is the simple digraph with vertex set

G

such that

x i g h t a r r o w y

if

y

is a power of

x

. The power graph of

m a t h b f G

, denoted with

m a t h c a l G (m a t h b f G)

, is the underlying simple graph. In this paper, for groups

m a t h b f G

and

m a t h b f H

, the following is proved. If

m a t h b f G

has no quasicyclic subgroup

m a t h b f C_{p^{i} n f t y}

which has trivial intersection with every cyclic subgroup

m a t h b f K

of

m a t h b f G

such that

m a t h b f K o t l e q m a t h b f C_{p^{i} n f t y}

, then

m a t h c a l G (m a t h b f G) c o n g m a t h c a l G (m a t h b f H)

implies

v e c m a t h c a l G (m a t h b f G) c o n g v e c m a t h c a l G (m a t h b f H)

. Consequently, any two torsion-free groups having isomorphic power graphs have isomorphic directed power graphs.
