In 2014, Baumslag and Wiegold proved that a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if o(xy) = o(x)o(y) for every x, y ∈ G with (o(x), o(y)) = 1. This has led to a number of results that characterize the nilpotence of a group (or the existence of nilpotent Hall subgroups, or the existence of normal Hall subgroups) in terms of prime divisors of element orders. Here, we look at these results with a new twist. The first of our main results asserts that G is nilpotent if and only if o(xy) ⩽ o(x)o(y) for every x, y ∈ G of prime power order with (o(x), o(y)) = 1. As an immediate consequence, we recover the Baumslag–Wiegold theorem. The proof of this result is elementary. We prove some variations of this result that depend on the classification of finite simple groups.

The spectrum ω(G) of a finite group G is the set of element orders of G. Let L be finite simple group Dn(q) with disconnected Gruenberg–Kegel graph. First, we establish that L is quasi-recognizable by spectrum except D4(2) and D4(3), i.e., every finite group G with ω(G) = ω(L) has a unique nonabelian composition factor that is isomorphic to L. Second, for some special series of integers n, we prove that L is recognizable by spectrum, i.e., every finite group G with ω(G) = ω(L) is isomorphic to L.

Abstract One of the important problems in finite groups theory is group characterization by specific property. Properties, such as element orders, set of elements with the same order, the largest element order, etc. In this paper, we prove that the simple groups 2 D 8((2 n )2)where, 28 n + 1 is a prime number are uniquely determined by its order and the largest elements order.

Let G be a finite group and ψ(G) = ∑g∈Go(g), where o(g) denotes the order of g ∈ G. In this short paper we show that the conjecture of minimality of ψ(G) in simple groups, posed in [J. Algebra Appl. 10(2) (2011) 187–190], is incorrect.
