The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is a non-decreasing finite sequence formed of the element orders of $G$. Several properties of order sequences were studied by P. J. Cameron and H. K. Dey in a recent paper that concludes with a list…
Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\psi\,'(G)$ the product of element orders of $G$. Our main result proves that the restriction of $\psi\,'$ to abelian $p$-groups of order $p^n$ is strictly increasing with respect to a natural order…
A finite group is called $\psi$-divisible iff $\psi(H)|\psi(G)$ for any subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$. Here, $\psi(G)$ is the sum of element orders of $G$. For now, the only known examples of such groups are the cyclic ones of…
Let $\psi(G) = \sum_{g \in G} o(g)$ denote the sum of element orders of a finite group $G$. It is known that among groups of order $n$, the cyclic group $C_n$ maximizes $\psi$. T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu proved that two finite abelian $p$-groups…
Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and denote by $\rho(G)$ the product of element orders of $G$. The aim of this work is to provide some upper bounds for $\rho(G)$ depending only on $n$ and on its least prime divisor, when $G$ belongs…
For a finite group $G$, let $\psi(G)$ denote the sum of element orders of $G$. This function was introduced by Amiri, Amiri, and Isaacs in 2009 and they proved that for any finite group $G$ of order $n$, $\psi(G)$ is maximum if and only if…
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…
Denote the sum of element orders in a finite group $G$ by $\psi(G)$ and let $C_n$ denote the cyclic group of order $n$. Suppose that $G$ is a non-cyclic finite group of order $n$ and $q$ is the least prime divisor of $n$. We proved that…
By using the structure and some properties of extraspecial and generalized/almost extraspecial $p$-groups, we explicitly determine the number of elements of specific orders in such groups. As a consequence, one may find the number of cyclic…
Denote by $G$ a finite group and by $\psi(G)$ the sum of element orders in $G$. If $t$ is a positive integer, denote by $C_t$ the cyclic group of order $t$ and write $\psi(t)=\psi(C_t)$. In this paper we proved the following Theorem A: Let…
Let $G$ be a group and $G_0 \subseteq G$ be a subset. A sequence over $G_0$ means a finite sequence of terms from $G_0$, where the order of elements is disregarded and the repetition of elements is allowed. A product-one sequence is a…
Denote by $G$ a finite group and let $\psi(G)$ denote the sum of element orders in $G$. In 2009, H.Amiri, S.M.Jafarian Amiri and I.M.Isaacs proved that if $|G|=n$ and $G$ is non-cyclic, then $\psi(G)<\psi(C_n)$, where $C_n$ denotes the…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\psi(G)$ denote the sum of element orders of $G$. It is well-known that the maximum value of $\varphi$ on the set of groups of order $n$, where $n$ is a positive integer, will occur at the cyclic group…
Let $G$ be a finite group. A finite unordered sequence $S = g_1 \boldsymbol{\cdot} \ldots \boldsymbol{\cdot} g_{\ell}$ of terms from $G$, where repetition is allowed, is a product-one sequence if its terms can be ordered such that their…
Given a finite group $G$ of order $p^nm$, where $p$ is a prime and $p\nmid m$, we denote by $\psi_p(G)$ the sum of orders of $p$-parts of elements in $G$. In the current note, we prove that $\psi_p(G)\leq\psi_p(C_{p^nm})$, where $C_{p^nm}$…
Let $n$ be a positive integer. Then cyclic group $Z_n$ of order $n$ is the only group of order $n$ iff g.c.d. $(n,\phi(n))=1$, where $\phi$ denotes the Euler-phi function. In this article we have given another proof of this result using the…
In this paper, we study the posets of classes of subgroups of finite group having same set of orders of elements. We show that this poset is a chain only in the case of p-groups and moreover, we characterize all finite groups for which this…
This paper studies a partial order on the general linear group GL(V) called the absolute order, derived from viewing GL(V) as a group generated by reflections, that is, elements whose fixed space has codimension one. The absolute order on…
If $G$ is a finite group and $x\in G$ then the set of all elements of $G$ having the same order as $x$ is called {\em an order subset of $G$ determined by $x$} (see [2]). We say that $G$ is a {\em group with perfect order subsets} or…
Let $\{G_i :i\in\N\}$ be a family of finite Abelian groups. We say that a subgroup $G\leq \prod\limits_{i\in \N}G_i$ is \emph{order controllable} if for every $i\in \mathbb{N}$ there is $n_i\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for each $c\in G$, there…
