Let P 0 (An), P 0 (An), P 0 (T (An)) and O 0 (An) be respectively the proper power graph, the proper quotient power graph, the proper power type graph and the proper order graph of the alternating group An, for n ≥ 3. We determine the number of the components of those graphs. In particular, we prove that the power graph P (An) is 2-connected if and only if the power type graph P (T (An)) is 2-connected, if and only if either n = 3 or none of n, n − 1, n − 2, n 2 and n−1 2 is a prime. We also give some information on the properties of those components. MSC(2010): Primary: 05C25; Secondary: 20B30.
