Thickness of the subgroup intersection graph of a finite group

Abstract

<abstract> <p>Let $ G $ be a finite group. The intersection graph of subgroups of $ G $ is a graph whose vertices are all non-trivial subgroups of $ G $ and in which two distinct vertices $ H $ and $ K $ are adjacent if and only if $ H\cap K\neq 1 $. In this paper, we classify all finite abelian groups whose thickness and outerthickness of subgroup intersection graphs are 1 and 2, respectively. We also investigate the thickness and outerthickness of subgroup intersection graphs for some finite non-abelian groups.</p> </abstract>
