Abstract
For an element of a group , an Engel sink is a subset such that for every all sufficiently long commutators belong to . Let be a prime, let be a positive integer and an elementary abelian group of order acting coprimely on a finite group . We show that if for each nontrivial element in and every element the cardinality of the smallest Engel sink is at most , then the order of is bounded in terms of only. Moreover we prove that if for each and every element , the smallest Engel sink generates a subgroup of rank at most , then the rank of is bounded in terms of and only.
