Abstract

Given a finite group $G$ and the subgroups lattice $\mathrm{L}(G)$ of $G$, the \textit{non--permutability graph of subgroups} $\Gamma_{\mathrm{L}(G)}$ is introduced as the graph with vertices in $\mathrm{L}(G) \setminus \mathfrak{C}_{\mathrm{L}(G)}(\mathrm{L}(G))$, where $\mathfrak{C}_{\mathrm{L}(G)}(\mathrm{L}(G))$ is the smallest sublattice of $\mathrm{L}(G)$ containing all permutable subgroups of $G$, and edges obtained by joining two vertices $X,Y$ if $XY\neq YX$. Here we study the behaviour of the non-permutability graph of subgroups using algebraic properties of associated matrices such as the adjacency and the Laplacian matrix. Further, we study the structure of some classes of groups whose non-permutability graph is strongly regular.
