We study the finite solvable groups G in which every real element has prime power order. We divide our examination into two parts: the case O₂ (G) >1 and the case O₂ (G) =1. Specifically we proved that if O₂ (G) >1 then G is a \2, p\-group. Finally, by taking into consideration the examples presented in the analysis of the O₂ (G) =1 case, we deduce some interesting and unexpected results about the connectedness of the real prime graph ₑ (G). In particular, we found that there are groups such that ₑ (G) has respectively 3 and 4 connected components.
Alessandro De Giorgi (Wed,) studied this question.
