Arithmetic progressions in finite groups

Groups whose same-order types are arithmetic progressions

The same-order type $τ_e(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is a set formed of the sizes of the equivalence classes containing the same order elements of $G$. In this paper, we study an arithmetical property of this set. More exactly, we outline some results on the classification and existence of finite groups whose same-order types are arithmetic progressions formed of 3 or 4 elements, the latter being the maximum size of such a sequence.
