Let $G$ be a finite group of odd order admitting an involutory automorphism $\phi$. We obtain two results bounding the exponent of $[G,\phi]$. Denote by $G_{-\phi}$ the set $\{[g,\phi]\,\vert\, g\in G\}$ and by $G_{\phi}$ the centralizer of…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$ of order $e$. Denote by $I_G(\alpha)$ the set of commutators $g^{-1}g^\alpha$, where $g\in G$, and by $[G,\alpha]$ the subgroup generated by $I_G(\alpha)$. We study the…

It is known that a finite group with an automorphism $\varphi$ of coprime order has a soluble radical of $(|\varphi|,|C_G(\varphi)|)$-bounded Fitting height and index. We extend this classic result as follows. Let $f(x) = a_0 + a_1 \cdot x…

Let $A$ be a group isomorphic with either $S_4$, the symmetric group on four symbols, or $D_8$, the dihedral group of order 8. Let $V$ be a normal four-subgroup of $A$ and $\alpha$ an involution in $A\setminus V$. Suppose that $A$ acts on a…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$. Let $J_G(\alpha)$ denote the set of all commutators $[x,\alpha]$, where $x$ belongs to an $\alpha$-invariant Sylow subgroup of $G$. We show that $[G,\alpha]$ is soluble or…

Let $A$ be an elementary abelian group of order $p^{k}$ with $k\geq 3$ acting on a finite $p'$-group $G$. The following results are proved. If $\gamma_{k-2}(C_{G}(a))$ is nilpotent of class at most $c$ for any $a\in A^{#}$, then…

A left Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is a left Engel element precisely…

Let $q$ be a prime, $n$ a positive integer and $A$ an elementary abelian group of order $q^r$ with $r\geq2$ acting on a finite $q'$-group $G$. The following results are proved. We show that if all elements in $\gamma_{r-1}(C_G(a))$ are…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi $ of order $2^n$ such that the fixed-point subgroup $C_G(\varphi ^{2^{n-1}})$ of the involution $\varphi ^{2^{n-1}}$ is nilpotent of class $c$. Let $m=|C_G(\varphi)|$ be the…

It is proved that if a finite $p$-soluble group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi$ of order $p^n$ having at most $m$ fixed points on every $\varphi$-invariant elementary abelian $p'$-section of $G$, then the $p$-length of $G$ is bounded…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A coprime commutator in $G$ is any element that can be written as a commutator $[x,y]$ for suitable $x,y\in G$ such that $\pi(x)\cap\pi(y)=\emptyset$. Here $\pi(g)$ denotes the set of prime divisors of the order…

We complete the study of finite and profinite groups admitting an action by an elementary abelian group under which the centralizers of automorphisms consist of Engel elements. In particular, we prove the following theorems. Let $q$ be a…

A right Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr R}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[g,x],x],\dots ,x]$ belong to ${\mathscr R}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is a right Engel element…

An element $g$ of a group $G$ is said to be right Engel if for every $x\in G$ there is a number $n=n(g,x)$ such that $[g,{}_{n}x]=1$. We prove that if a profinite group $G$ admits a coprime automorphism $\varphi$ of prime order such that…

An Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is an Engel element precisely when we…

We consider groups $G$ such that the set $[G,\varphi]=\{g^{-1}g^{\varphi}|g\in G\}$ is a subgroup for every automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, and we prove that there exists such a group $G$ that is finite and nilpotent of class $n$ for every…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a pro-$p$ group of finite rank that admits a faithful, self-similar action on the $p$-ary rooted tree. We prove that if the set $\{g\in G \ | \ g^{p^n}=1\}$ is a nontrivial subgroup for some $n$, then $G$ is a…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a soluble group of coprime automorphisms $A$. We prove that if, for some positive integer $m$, every element of the centralizer $C_G(A )$ has a left Engel sink of cardinality at most $m$ (or a right…

Let $\alpha$ be a coprime automorphism of a group $G$ of prime order and let $P$ be an $\alpha$-invariant Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. Assume that $p\notin \pi(C_G(\alpha))$. Firstly, we prove that $G$ is $p$-nilpotent if and only if…

Let m be a positive integer and A an elementary abelian group of order q^r with r greater than or equal to 2 acting on a finite q'-group G. We show that if for some integer d such that 2^{d} is less than or equal to (r-1) the dth derived…
