On the number of constituents of products of characters

It has been conjectured that if the number of distinct irreducible constituents of the product of two faithful irreducible characters of a finite $p$-group, for $p\geq5$, is bigger than $(p+1)/2$, then it is at least $p$. We give a counterexample to this conjecture.

The average element order and the number of conjugacy classes of finite groups

Let $o(G)$ be the average order of the elements of $G$, where $G$ is a finite group. We show that there is no polynomial lower bound for $o(G)$ in terms of $o(N)$, where $N\trianglelefteq G$, even when $G$ is a prime-power order group and $N$ is abelian. This gives a negative answer to a question of A.~Jaikin-Zapirain.
