Factorization graphs of finite groups

Authors: Mohammad Farrokhi D. G. and Ali Azimi

Abstract:

We introduce the factorization graph of a finite group and study its connectedness and forbidden structures. We characterize all finite groups with connected factorization graphs and classify those with connected bipartite factorization graphs. Also, we obtain a classification of all groups with claw-free, $K_{1,4}$-free, and square-free factorization graphs, excluding the non-solvable groups in the latter case.

Keywords: factorization, connectivity, bipartite, forbidden structure
