On a question of Jaikin-Zapirain about the average order elements of finite groups
For a finite group $G$, the average order $o(G)$ is defined to be the average of all order elements in $G$, that is $o( G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{x\in G}o(x)$, where $o(x)$ is the order of element $x$ in $G$.

| Summary: | For a finite group $G$, the average order $o(G)$ is defined to be the average of all order elements in $G$, that is $o( G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{x\in G}o(x)$, where $o(x)$ is the order of element $x$ in $G$. Jaikin-Zapirain in [On the number of conjugacy classes of finite nilpotent groups, Advances in Mathematics, \textbf{227} (2011) 1129-1143] asked the following question: if $G$ is a finite ($p$-) group and $N$ is a normal (abelian) subgroup of $G$, is it true that $o(N)^{\frac{1}{2}}\leq o(G) $? We say that $G$ satisfies the average condition if $o(H)\leq o(G)$, for all subgroups $H$ of $G$. In this paer we show that every finite abelian group satisfies the average condition. This result confirms and improves the question of Jaikin-Zapirain for finite abelian groups. |
