Let $G$ be a finite group. In this short note, we give a criterion of nilpotency of $G$ based on the existence of elements of certain order in each section of $G$.

It is shown that finite groups in which the order of the product of every pair of elements of co-prime order is the product of the orders, is nilpotent.

We prove several results detecting ciclicity or nilpotency of a finite group $G$ in terms of inequalities involving the orders of the elements of $G$ and the orders of the elements of the cyclic group of order $|G|$. We prove that, among…

In this note we introduce and characterize a class of finite groups for which the element orders satisfy a certain inequality. This is contained in some well-known classes of finite groups.

In this article we introduce and study a class of finite groups for which the orders of normal subgroups satisfy a certain inequality. It is closely connected to some well-known arithmetic classes of natural numbers.

We refer to the set of the orders of elements of a finite group as its spectrum and say that groups are isospectral if their spectra coincide. We prove that with the only specific exception the solvable radical of a nonsolvable finite group…

In this article we study the homology of nilpotent groups. In particular a certain vanishing result for the homology and cohomology of nilpotent groups is proved.

We define a notion of roundness for finite groups. Roughly speaking, a group is round if one can order its elements in a cycle in such a way that some natural summation operators map this cycle into new cycles containing all the elements of…

The power graph of a group is the simple graph whose vertices are the group elements and two vertices are adjacent whenever one of them is a positive power of the other. We characterize the finite nilpotent groups whose power graphs have…

Let $G$ be a group of order $n$ and $H$ be a subgroup of order $m$ of $G$. Denote by $\psi_H(G)$ the sum of element orders relative to $H$ of $G$. It is known that if $G$ is nilpotent, then $\psi_H(G)\leq\psi_{H_m}(G)$, where $H_m$ is the…

It is well known that if $G$ is a group and $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ of finite index $k$, then $x^k \in H$ for every $x \in G$. We examine finite groups $G$ with the property that $x^k \in H$ for every subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $k$…

In this paper, we introduce a new function related to the sum of element orders of finite groups. It is used to give some criteria for a finite group to be cyclic, abelian, nilpotent, supersolvable and solvable, respectively.

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\nu(G)$ the probability that two randomly chosen elements of $G$ generate a nilpotent subgroup. We prove that if $\nu(G)>1/12,$ then $G$ is solvable.

In this short note we introduce a new metric on certain finite groups. It leads to a class of groups for which the element orders satisfy an interesting inequality. This extends the class CP_2 studied in our previous paper [16].

We prove that the isomorphism type of the subrack lattice of a finite group determines the nilpotence class. We analyze the problem of estimating the orders of the group elements corresponding to the atoms of the subrack lattice. As a…

We prove a $p$-nilpotency criterion for finite groups in terms of the element orders of its $p'$-reduced sections that extends a nilpotency criterion by T{\u{a}}rn{\u{a}}uceanu.

It is proved that the derived subgroup of a finite group is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|\ge |a||b|$ for all primary commutators $a$ and $b$ of coprime orders.

The notion of bounded FC-nilpotent group is introduced and it is shown that any such group is nilpotent-by-finite, generalizing a result of Neumann on bounded FC-groups.

Denote the sum of element orders in a finite group $G$ by $\psi(G)$ and let $C_n$ denote the cyclic group of order $n$. In this paper, we prove that if $|G|=n$ and $\psi(G)>\frac{13}{21}\,\psi(C_n)$, then $G$ is nilpotent. Moreover, we have…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…
