When will a group be Abelian?
My Attempt:
$1.$ $G$ is abelian if and only if the mapping $g\mapsto g^{-1}$ is an isomorphism on the group $G$.
$2.$If $G$ is finite and every irreducible character is linear then $G$ is abelian.
$3.$If $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ acts on the set $G-\{e\}$ transitively then $G$ is abelian.
$4.$If $\mathbb Z_2$ acts by automorphism on a finite group $G$ fixed point freely then $G$ is abelian.
$5.$ If $\forall a,b\in G$ $ ab=ba$ then $G$ is Abelian.
My Question:
The above are the things which I already use to show a group will be Abelian.
Is/are there any other way(s) to show a group $G$ to be Abelian?
Solution 1:
A group $G$ is abelian if and only if the multiplication map $\circ:G\times G\to G$ is a homomorphism.
Solution 2:
If $G/Z(G)$ is cyclic, then $G$ is abelian.
and its corollary for finite groups:
If $|Z(G)| > \frac {1}{4} |G|$, then $G$ is abelian.
