Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to prove that if G is a finite minimal nonsolvable group (i.e. G is not solvable but every proper quotient of G is solvable), then the commuting graph of G has diameter ≥ 3. We give an example showing that this result is the best possible. This result is related to the structure of finite quotients of the multiplicative group of a finite-dimensional division algebra.
