Abstract

We consider groups GG such that the set [G,φ]={g1gφgG}[G,\varphi]=\{g^{-1}g^{\varphi}|g\in G\} is a subgroup for every automorphism φ\varphi of GG, and we prove that there exists such a group GG that is finite and nilpotent of class nn for every nNn\in\mathbb N. Then there exists an infinite nonnilpotent group with the above property and the conjecture 18.14 of [5][5] is false.
