Abstract

Let AA and GG be finite groups such that AA acts coprimely on GG by automorphisms, assume that GG has a maximal AA-invariant subgroup MM that is a direct product of some isomorphic simple groups, we prove that if GG has a non-trivial AA-invariant normal subgroup NN such that NMN\leq M and every non-nilpotent maximal AA-invariant subgroup KK of GG not containing NN has index a prime-power and the projective special linear group PSL2(7)PSL_2(7) is not a composition factor of GG, then GG is solvable.
