Tărnăuceanu's sum-of-element-orders conjecture for finite abelian groups

From papers

Let GG and HH be finite abelian groups of the same order. Define the sum-of-element-orders function by

ψ(G)=gGo(g),\psi(G)=\sum_{g\in G}o(g),

where o(g)o(g) denotes the order of gg. Tărnăuceanu's conjecture. The groups GG and HH are isomorphic if and only if ψ(G)=ψ(H)\psi(G)=\psi(H).

This extends the corresponding result for finite abelian pp-groups to all finite abelian groups. It asserts that, among finite abelian groups of a fixed order, the sum of element orders determines the isomorphism type; the supplied source does not indicate that the conjecture has been resolved.
