Finite groups with some restriction on the vanishing set

Abstract

Let $ x $ be an element of a finite group $ G $ and denote the order of $ x $ by $ \mathrm{ord}(x) $. We consider a finite group $ G $ such that $ \gcd(\mathrm{ord}(x),\mathrm{ord}(y))\leqslant 2 $ for any two vanishing elements $ x $ and $ y $ contained in distinct conjugacy classes. We show that such a group $ G $ is solvable. When $ G $ with the property above is supersolvable, we show that $ G $ has a normal metabelian $ 2 $-complement.
