Group cosets with all elements of equal order

Group Theory 2025-04-16 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and NN a proper, nontrivial, normal subgroup of GG. If, for every element xx of GG not lying in NN, the elements in the coset xNxN all have the same order as xx, then we say that (G,N)(G,N) is an {\it{equal order pair}}. This generalizes the concept of a Camina pair, that was introduced by the first author. In the present paper we study several properties of equal order pairs, showing that in many respects they resemble Camina pairs, but with some important differences.
