For a group $G,$ let $Gamma(G)$ denote the graph defined on the elements of $G$ in such a way that two distinct vertices are connected by an edge if and only if they generate $G$. Moreover let $Gamma^*(G)$ be the subgraph of $Gamma(G)$ that is induced by all the vertices of $Gamma(G)$ that are not isolated. We prove that if $G$ is a 2-generated non-cyclic abelian group then $Gamma^*(G)$ is connected. Moreover $mathrm{diam}(Gamma^*(G))=2$ if the torsion subgroup of $G$ is non-trivial and $mathrm{diam}(Gamma^*(G))=infty$ otherwise. If $F$ is the free group of rank 2, then $Gamma^*(F)$ is connected and we deduce from $mathrm{diam}(Gamma^*(mathbb{Z}times mathbb{Z}))=infty$ that $mathrm{diam}(Gamma^*(F))=infty.$
We show that if $G$ is a group and $G$ has a graph-product decomposition with finitely-generated abelian vertex groups, then $G$ has two canonical decompositions as a graph product of groups: a unique decomposition in which each vertex group is a dir
We study the automorphisms of a graph product of finitely-generated abelian groups W. More precisely, we study a natural subgroup Aut* W of Aut W, with Aut* W = Aut W whenever vertex groups are finite and in a number of other cases. We prove a number
A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group, if any Schur ring over $G$ is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. Recently, the authors have completely identified the cyclic Schur groups. In this
Denote by $m(G)$ the largest size of a minimal generating set of a finite group $G$. We estimate $m(G)$ in terms of $sum_{pin pi(G)}d_p(G),$ where we are denoting by $d_p(G)$ the minimal number of generators of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and by $pi(
In this article we present an extensive survey on the developments in the theory of non-abelian finite groups with abelian automorphism groups, and pose some problems and further research directions.
