Finite groups with a soluble group of coprime automorphisms whose fixed points have bounded Engel sinks
Abstract
Suppose that a finite group admits a soluble group of coprime automorphisms . We prove that if, for some positive integer , every element of the centralizer has a left Engel sink of cardinality at most (or a right Engel sink of cardinality at most ), then has a subgroup of -bounded index which has Fitting height at most , where is the composition length of . We also prove that if, for some positive integer , every element of the centralizer has a left Engel sink of rank at most (or a right Engel sink of rank at most ), then has a subgroup of -bounded index which has Fitting height at most . Here, 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 .) 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 .)
