dc.descriptionWe associate a graph $\mathcal{C}_G$ to a non locally cyclic group $G$ (called the non-cyclic graph of $G$) as follows: take $G\backslash Cyc(G)$ as vertex set, where $Cyc(G)=\{x\in G | < x,y> \text{is cyclic for all} y\in G\}$ is called the cyclicizer of $G$, and join two vertices if they do not generate a cyclic subgroup. For a simple graph $Γ$, $w(Γ)$ denotes the clique number of $Γ$, which is the maximum size (if it exists) of a complete subgraph of $Γ$. In this paper we characterize groups whose non-cyclic graphs have clique numbers at most 4. We prove that a non-cyclic group $G$ is solvable whenever $w(\mathcal{C}_G)<31$ and the equality for a non-solvable group $G$ holds if and only if $G/Cyc(G)\cong A_5$ or $S_5$.
