Abstract

There has been a great deal of research on graphs defined on algebraic structures in the last two decades. Power graphs, commuting graphs, cyclic graphs are some examples. In this paper we begin an exploration of hypergraphs defined on algebraic structures, especially groups, to investigate whether this can add a new perspective.
