Criteria for solubility and nilpotency of finite groups with automorphisms

Group Theory 2022-11-02 v2

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism α\alpha. Let JG(α)J_G(\alpha) denote the set of all commutators [x,α][x,\alpha], where xx belongs to an α\alpha-invariant Sylow subgroup of GG. We show that [G,α][G,\alpha] is soluble or nilpotent if and only if any subgroup generated by a pair of elements of coprime orders from the set JG(α)J_G(\alpha) is soluble or nilpotent, respectively.
