Some density results involving the average order of a finite group

Group Theory 2023-03-10 v1

Abstract

Let o(G)o(G) be the average of the element orders of a finite group GG. A research topic concerning this quantity is understanding the relation between o(G)o(G) and o(H)o(H), where HH is a subgroup of GG. Let N\mathcal{N} be the class of finite nilpotent groups and let L(G)L(G) be the subgroup lattice of GG. In this paper, we show that the set {o(G)o(H)  GN,HL(G)}\lbrace \frac{o(G)}{o(H)} \ | \ G\in\mathcal{N}, H\in L(G)\rbrace is dense in [0,)[0, \infty). Other density results are outlined throughout the paper.
