Addendum to : “Prime graph components of finite almost simple groups” [Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 102 (1999), 1–22]
The prime graph of a finite group is defined as follows: the set of vertices is , the set of primes dividing the order of , and two vertices , are joined by an edge (we write ) if and only if there exists an element in of order . We study the groups such that the prime graph is a tree, proving that, in this case, .
