A finite group is called -divisible iff for any subgroup of a finite group . Here, is the sum of element orders of . For now, the only known examples of such groups are the cyclic ones of square-free order. The existence of non-abelian -divisible groups still constitutes an open question. The aim of this paper is to make a connection between the -divisibility property and graph theory. Hence, for a finite group , we introduce a simple undirected graph called the -divisibility graph of . We denote it by . Its vertices are the non-trivial subgroups of , while two distinct vertices and are adjacent iff and or and . We prove that is -divisible iff has a universal (dominating) vertex. Also, we study various properties of , when is a finite cyclic group. The choice of restricting our study to this specific class of groups is motivated in the paper.
