Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{H\leq G}\,|H|$. In this note, we prove that if $\sigma_1(G)<\frac{117}{20}$, then $G$ is solvable. Moreover, we have $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{117}{20}$ if and only if $G\cong A_5$.…

Given a finite group $G$, the generating graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ has as vertices the non-identity elements of $G$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are distinct and generate $G$ as group elements. Let $G$ be a 2-generated…

A finite group is said to have "perfect order classes" if the number of elements of any given order is either zero or a divisor of the order of the group. The purpose of this note is to describe explicitly the finite Hamiltonian groups with…

We study the finite solvable groups $G$ in which every real element has prime power order. We divide our examination into two parts: the case $\textbf{O}_2(G)>1$ and the case $\textbf{O}_2(G)=1$. Specifically we proved that if…

In this article, we introduce the study of a class of finite groups $G$ which admits a subgroup which intersects all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. We also explore a subclass of it consisting of all groups $G$ in which the prime order…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

A finite group of order divisible by 3 in which centralizers of 3-elements are 3-subgroups will be called a C{\theta}{\theta}-group. The prime graph (or Gruenberg-Kegel graph) of a finite group G is denoted by {\Gamma}(G) (or GK(G)) and its…

The generalized order $e_G(g)$ of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that there exist $x_1,\ldots,x_k \in G$ such that $g^{x_1} \ldots g^{x_k}=1$, where $g^x=x^{-1}gx$. Let $e(G) = \max \{e_G(g)\ |\ g…

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…

A positive integer $m$ will be called a {\it finitistic order} for an element $\gamma$ of a group $\Gamma$ if there exist a finite group $G$ and a homomorphism $h:\Gamma\to G$ such that $h(\gamma)$ has order $m$ in $G$. It is shown that up…
