Jan 2, 2015 at 9:54 comment added Padraig Ó Catháin You could look at "On a Theorem of Frobenius: solutions of $x^n = 1$ in finite groups" by Isaacs and Robinson. On the way to proving Frobenius Theorem, they show that $\phi(n) \mid s_{n}$ for all $n$, but some of the methods and references might be of use. I assume you want to exclude the case that there are no elements of order $2p$ in $G$, in which case $2p \mid 0$? (E.g. elements of order 6 in $A_{4}$)
Jan 2, 2015 at 8:14 comment added Shukran In fact, I want to know how we can conclude $2p\nmid\sum_{o(x)=2p}|x^G|$?
Jan 2, 2015 at 8:11 comment added Shukran sorry I forgot to say that $p$ is odd prime.
Jan 2, 2015 at 8:02 comment added S. Carnahan If $p=2$ and $G = C_2 \times C_4$, then $s_4 = 4$.
