Conjecture on algebraic connectivity and Laplacian integrality of power graphs of cyclic groups

Let n2n\geq 2 be an integer, let Zn\mathbb{Z}_n be the cyclic group of order nn, and let G(Zn)\mathcal{G}(\mathbb{Z}_n) denote its power graph. The cyclic power-graph conjecture. The following statements are equivalent:

  1. The algebraic connectivity of G(Zn)\mathcal{G}(\mathbb{Z}_n) is an integer.
  2. G(Zn)\mathcal{G}(\mathbb{Z}_n) is Laplacian integral.
  3. nn is a prime power or a product of two primes.

The paper presents this as a conclusion based on the preceding results; the status of the claimed equivalence is not established in the supplied text.
