The Laplacian spectrum of power graphs of some finite abelian p-groups

Publication date 23 February 2018

Abstract: The power graph

m a t h c a l G (G)

of a group

G

is a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of

G

and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of other. In this paper, we investigate the Laplacian spectrum of the power graph

m a t h c a l G (m a t h b b Z_{p^{m}}^{n})

of finite abelian

p

-group

m a t h b b Z_{p^{m}}^{n}

. In particular, we prove that the spectrum of group

m a t h b b Z_{p^{m}}^{n}

is contained in the Laplacian spectrum of graph

m a t h c a l G (m a t h b b Z_{p^{m}}^{n})

. For a finite abelian group

G

whose power graph

m a t h c a l G (G)

is planar, we also prove that the spectrum of group

G

is contained in the Laplacian spectrum of graph

m a t h c a l G (G)

.
