Order statistics-equivalent finite groups
This article defines an equivalence relation over the collection of groups. View a complete list of equivalence relations on groups.
Definition
Two finite groups and are termed order statistics-equivalent if they satisfy the following equivalent conditions:
- and have the same order statistics.
- There is a bijection from to that sends any element to an element of the same order.
- There is a finite group containing a subgroup isomorphic to and a subgroup isomorphic to such that, for any conjugacy class in , its intersection with has the same size as its intersection with .
- There is a finite group containing a subgroup isomorphic to and a subgroup isomorphic to such that the induced representation of from the regular representation of is equivalent as a linear representation to the induced representation of from the regular representation of .
Note that any two order statistics-equivalent finite groups have the same order.

| Group property | Finite version | Is any group order statistics-equivalent to a group with this property isomorphic to it? | Does any group order statistics-equivalent to a group with this property also have this property? | Are any two groups with this property that are order statistics-equivalent also isomorphic? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclic group | Finite cyclic group | Yes: Finite group having the same order statistics as a cyclic group is cyclic | Yes | Yes |
| Abelian group | Finite abelian group | No | No; for instance: Lazard Lie group has the same order statistics as the additive group of its Lazard Lie ring | Yes: Finite abelian groups with the same order statistics are isomorphic |
| Nilpotent group | Finite nilpotent group | No | Yes: Order statistics of a finite group determine whether it is nilpotent | No; for instance: Lazard Lie group has the same order statistics as the additive group of its Lazard Lie ring |
