Abstract

                Given a finite group
                G
                , denote by
                
                  
                    
                    
                      
                        Γ
                        (
                        G
                        )
                      
                    
                    $\Gamma (G)$
                  
                
                the simple

undirected graph whose vertices are the distinct sizes of noncentral conjugacy classes of G , and set two vertices of

                        Γ
                        (
                        G
                        )
                      
                    
                    $\Gamma (G)$
                  
                
                to be

adjacent if and only if they are not coprime numbers. In this note we prove that, if

                        Γ
                        (
                        G
                        )
                      
                    
                    $\Gamma (G)$
                  
                
                is a
                k
                -regular graph with
                k
                ≥ 1, then
                
                  
                    
                    
                      
                        Γ
                        (
                        G
                        )
                      
                    
                    $\Gamma (G)$
                  
                
                is a complete graph with
                
                  
                    
                    
                      
                        k
                        +
                        1
