Abstract

A finite group GG is called ψ\psi-divisible if ψ(H)ψ(G)\psi(H)|\psi(G) for any subgroup HH of GG, where ψ(H)\psi(H) and ψ(G)\psi(G) are the sum of element orders of HH and GG, respectively. In this paper, we extend a result provided in [10], by classifying the finite groups whose all subgroups are ψ\psi-divisible. Since the existence of ψ\psi-divisible groups is related to the class of square-free order groups, we also study the sum of element orders and the ψ\psi-divisibility property of ZM-groups. In the end, we introduce the concept of ψ\psi-normal divisible group, i.e. a group for which the ψ\psi-divisibility property is satisfied by all its normal subgroups. Using simple and quasisimple groups, we are able to construct infinitely many ψ\psi-normal divisible groups which are neither simple nor nilpotent.
