Factorization number and subgroup commutativity degree via spectral invariants

Abstract: The factorization number

F_{2} (G)

of a finite group

G

is the number of all possible factorizations of

G = H K

as product of its subgroups

H

and

K

, while the subgroup commutativity degree

m a t h r m s d (G)

of

G

is the probability of finding two commuting subgroups in

G

at random. It is known that

m a t h r m s d (G)

can be expressed in terms of

F_{2} (G)

. Denoting by

m a t h r m L (G)

the subgroups lattice of

G

, the non--permutability graph of subgroups

G a m m a_{m a t h r m L (G)}

of

G

is the graph with vertices in

m a t h r m L (G) s e t m i n u s m a t h f r a k C_{m a t h r m L (G)} (m a t h r m L (G))

, where

m a t h f r a k C_{m a t h r m L (G)} (m a t h r m L (G))

is the smallest sublattice of

m a t h r m L (G)

containing all permutable subgroups of

G

, and edges obtained by joining two vertices

X, Y

such that

X Y e q Y X

. The spectral properties of

G a m m a_{m a t h r m L (G)}

have been recently investigated in connection with

F_{2} (G)

and

m a t h r m s d (G)

. Here we show a new combinatorial formula, which allows us to express

F_{2} (G)

, and so

m a t h r m s d (G)

, in terms of adjacency and Laplacian matrices of

G a m m a_{m a t h r m L (G)}

.
