Abstract
Let be a group. The orbits of the natural action of on are called "automorphism orbits" of , and the number of automorphism orbits of is denoted by . Let be a virtually nilpotent group such that . We prove that where is a torsion subgroup and is a torsion-free nilpotent radicable characteristic subgroup of . Moreover, we prove that where is a torsion-free nilpotent radicable characteristic subgroup. In particular, if the maximum normal torsion subgroup of is trivial, then is nilpotent.
