Let G be a finite group. The main supergraph S(G) is a graph with vertex set G in which two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if o(x)∣o(y) or o(y)∣o(x). In this paper, we will show that G≅PSL(2,p) or PGL(2,p) if and only if S(G)≅S(PSL(2,p)) or S(PGL(2,p)), respectively. Also, we will show that if M is a sporadic simple group, then G≅M if only if S(G)≅S(M).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
