Abstract

Let GG be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism ϕ\phi of order nn. Denote by GϕG_{\phi} the centralizer of ϕ\phi in GG and by GϕG_{-\phi} the set {x1xϕ; xG}\{ x^{-1}x^{\phi}; \ x\in G\}. We prove the following results. 1. If every element from GϕGϕG_{\phi}\cup G_{-\phi} is contained in a ϕ\phi-invariant subgroup of exponent dividing ee, then the exponent of GG is (e,n)(e,n)-bounded. 2. Suppose that GϕG_{\phi} is nilpotent of class cc. If xe=1x^{e}=1 for each xGϕx \in G_{-\phi} and any two elements of GϕG_{-\phi} are contained in a ϕ\phi-invariant soluble subgroup of derived length dd, then the exponent of [G,ϕ][G,\phi] is bounded in terms of c,d,e,nc,d,e,n.
