Groups whose elements are not conjugate to their powers

Group Theory 2018-07-11 v1

Abstract

We call a finite group irrational if none of its elements is conjugate to a distinct power of itself. We prove that those groups are solvable and describe certain classes of these groups, where the above property is only required for pp-elements, for pp from a prescribed set of primes.
