Difference graphs of finite abelian groups with two Sylow subgroups

Abstract

The power graph and the enhanced power graph of a group $\mathbf{G}$ are simple graphs with vertex set $G$; two elements of $G$ are adjacent in the power graph if one of them is a power of the other, and they are adjacent in the enhanced power graph if they generate a cyclic subgroup. The difference graph of a group $\mathbf{G}$, denoted by $\mathcal{D}(\mathbf{G})$, is the difference of the enhanced power graph and the power graph of group $\mathbf{G}$ with all the isolated vertices removed. In this paper, we prove that, if a pair of finite abelian groups of order divisible by at most two primes have isomorphic difference graphs, then they are isomorphic.
