%0 Journal Article %T An inequality detecting nilpotency of finite groups %A Tom De Medts %A Marius T£¿rn£¿uceanu %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X In this short note, we provide an inequality that holds in any finite group, only involving the orders of the elements; we prove that equality holds if and only if the group is nilpotent. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.1020v2
