The multiple holomorph of a semidirect product of groups having coprime exponents (Q2187417)

For a group \(G\), consider its holomorph \(\operatorname{Hol}(G)=G\rtimes\Aut(G)\) as a subgroup of the group \(S_G\) of permutations on \(G\). The multiple holomorph then is the normalizer \(\operatorname{NHol}(G)=N_{S_G}(\operatorname{Hol}(G))\) of the holomorph. Denote the quotient \(T(G)=\operatorname{Nhol}(G)/\operatorname{Hol}(G)\). In many cases, \(T(G)\) is \(2\)-elementary abelian, though recent work by \textit{A. Caranti} [J. Algebra 516, 352--372 (2018; Zbl 1425.20003)] shows that this is not always the case. The paper describes a new method for certian groups (semidirect products of a group of exponent coprime to \(d\) with a cyclic group of order \(d\)) that can be used to find elements of odd order in \(T(G)\). Its use leads to explicit examples of solvable groups \(G\) with odd-order elements in \(T(G)\).
