On two problems about order sequences of finite groups

Group Theory 2024-11-19 v1

Abstract

The order sequence of a finite group GG is a non-decreasing finite sequence formed of the element orders of GG. Several properties of order sequences were studied by P. J. Cameron and H. K. Dey in a recent paper that concludes with a list of open problems. In this paper we solve two of these problems by showing the following facts: 1) if there is a non-supersolvable/non-solvable group of order nn, it is not always true that its order sequence is properly dominated by the order sequence of any supersolvable/solvable group of order nn; 2) the supersolvability of a finite group cannot be described by its order sequence.
