Abstract: Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and $Z(G)$ be its center. The non-commuting graph $mathcal{A}_G$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $$ and two vertices are joined by an edge if they do not commute. Let $mathrmSL(2,q)$ be the special linear group of degree 2 over the finite field of order $q$. In this paper we prove that if $G$ is a group such that $mathcal{A}_{G}congmathcal{A}_{mathrmSL(2,q)}$ for some prime power $qgeq2$, then $GcongmathrmSL(2,q)$.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a non-Abelian group and associate the non-commuting graph \(\mathcal A_G\) with \(G\) as follows: the vertex set of \(\mathcal A_G\) is \(G\setminus Z(G)\) where \(Z(G)\) denotes the center of \(G\) and two vertices \(x\) and \(y\) are adjacent if and only if \(xy\neq yx\). The non-commuting graph \(\mathcal A_G\) was first considered by Paul Erdős in 1975 [see \textit{B. H. Neumann}, J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. A 21, 467-472 (1976; Zbl 0333.05110)]. Let \(\text{SL}(2,q)\) be the special linear group of degree 2 over the finite field of order \(q\). In this paper the author proves that if \(G\) is a group such that \(\mathcal A_G\cong\mathcal A_{\text{SL}(G)}\) for some prime power \(q\geq 2\), then \(G\cong\text{SL}(2,q)\).
