Profinite groups with an automorphism of prime order whose fixed points have finite Engel sinks
Abstract
A right Engel sink of an element of a group is a set such that for every all sufficiently long commutators belong to . (Thus, is a right Engel element precisely when we can choose .) We prove that if a profinite group admits a coprime automorphism of prime order such that every fixed point of has a finite right Engel sink, then has an open locally nilpotent subgroup. A left Engel sink of an element of a group is a set such that for every all sufficiently long commutators belong to . (Thus, is a left Engel element precisely when we can choose .) We prove that if a profinite group admits a coprime automorphism of prime order such that every fixed point of has a finite left Engel sink, then has an open pronilpotent-by-nilpotent subgroup.
