It is shown that a condition of Kurzwell concerning fixed-points of certain operators on a finite group G is sufficient to ensure that G is soluble. The result generalizes those of Martineau on elementary abelian fixed-point-free operator groups.

Abstract We establish, in the setting of equivariant motivic homotopy theory for a finite group, a version of tom Dieck’s splitting theorem for the fixed points of a suspension spectrum. Along the way we establish structural results and constructions for equivariant motivic homotopy theory of independent interest. This includes geometric fixed-point functors and the motivic Adams isomorphism.

By the results of Rickman [7] and Ralston [6], a finite group G admitting a fixed point free automorphism α of order pq, where p and q are primes, is soluble. If p = q, then |G| is necessarily coprime to |α|, and it follows from Berger [1] that G has Fitting height at most 2, the composition length of <α>. The purpose of this paper is to prove a corresponding result in the case when p≠q.

Let G denote a finite group with a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order p. Then it is known (see [3] and [8]) that G is nilpotent of class bounded by an integer k(p). From this it follows that the length of the derived series of G is also bounded. Let l(p) denote the least upper bound of the length of the derived series of a group with a fixed-point-free automorphism of order p. The results to be proved here may now be stated: Theorem 1. Let G denote a soluble group of finite order and A an abelian group of automorphisms of G. Suppose that (a) ∣G∣ is relatively prime to ∣A∣; (b) GAis nilpotent and normal inGω, for all ω ∈ A#; (c) the Sylow 2-subgroup of G is abelian; and (d) if q is a prime number andqk+ 1 divides the exponent of A for some integer k then the Sylow q-subgroup of G is abelian.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group which acts coprimely on finite group [Formula: see text] via automorphisms. We investigate the influence of the structural conditions of the Sylow [Formula: see text]-subgroups of the fixed point subgroup of the action, [Formula: see text], working on the non-simplicity or solvability of [Formula: see text].

AbstractA finite group is called a CH-group if for every x,y∈G∖Z(G), xy=yx implies that $\|\cent Gx\| = \|\cent Gy\|$. Applying results of Schmidt [‘Zentralisatorverbände endlicher Gruppen’, Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova44 (1970), 97–131] and Rebmann [‘F-Gruppen’, Arch. Math. 22 (1971), 225–230] concerning CA-groups and F-groups, the structure of CH-groups is determined, up to that of CH-groups of prime-power order. Upper bounds are found for the derived length of nilpotent and solvable CH-groups.

Suppose G = AB where G is a finite group and A and B are nilpotent subgroups. It is proved that the derived length of G modulo its Frattini subgroup is at most the sum of the classes of A and B. An upper bound for the derived length of G in terms of the derived lengths of A and B also is obtained.

AbstractSuppose that is a connected reductive group defined over a field k, and ┌ is a finite group acting via k-automorphisms of satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the identity component of the group of -fixed points in is reductive. We axiomatize the main features of the relationship between this fixed-point group and the pair (,┌) and consider any group G satisfying the axioms. If both and G are k-quasisplit, then we can consider their duals *and G*. We show the existence of and give an explicit formula for a natural map from the set of semisimple stable conjugacy classes in G*(k) to the analogous set for *(k). If k is finite, then our groups are automatically quasisplit, and our result specializes to give a map of semisimple conjugacy classes. Since such classes parametrize packets of irreducible representations of G(k) and (k), one obtains a mapping of such packets.
