Abstract: Recently, Baumslag and Wiegold proved that a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if $o(xy)=o(x)o(y)$ for every $x,yinG$ of coprime order. Motivated by this result, we study the groups with the property that $(xy{)}^G=x^G{y}^G$ and those with the property that $chi(xy)=chi(x)chi(y)$ for every complex irreducible character $chi$ of $G$ and every nontrivial $x,yinG$ of pairwise coprime order. We also consider several ways of weakening the hypothesis on $x$ and $y$. While the result of Baumslag and Wiegold is completely elementary, some of our arguments here depend on (parts of) the classification of finite simple groups.
