Solvable Groups in which Every Real Element has Prime Power Order

Abstract

We study the finite solvable groups GG in which every real element has prime power order. We divide our examination into two parts: the case O2(G)>1\textbf{O}_2(G)>1 and the case O2(G)=1\textbf{O}_2(G)=1. Specifically we proved that if O2(G)>1\textbf{O}_2(G)>1 then GG is a {2,p}\{2,p\}-group. Finally, by taking into consideration the examples presented in the analysis of the O2(G)=1\textbf{O}_2(G)=1 case, we deduce some interesting and unexpected results about the connectedness of the real prime graph ΓR(G)\Gamma_{\mathbb{R}}(G). In particular, we found that there are groups such that ΓR(G)\Gamma_{\mathbb{R}}(G) has respectively 3 and 4 connected components.
