Let G be a group of finite order. I need to prove that the function f(x)=x^2 acts as an automorphism on G if and only if G is abelian with odd order.

Well you see

Since G
G has odd order, that means G
G is finite. So
can be injective if and only if it is surjective. To formally prove surjectivity, argue by contradiction. Suppose there is a yG
yG such that xG
xG, (x)y
(x)y. That implies there are two distinct x
1
,x
2
x1,x2 such that (x
1
)=(x
2
)
(x1)=(x2) by injectivity.
