    Suppose that a finite group \(G\) admits a Frobenius group \(FH\) of automorphisms with kernel \(F\) and complement \(H\) such that the fixed-point subgroup of \(F\) is trivial, i.e. \(C_G(F)=1\), and the orders of \(G\) and \(H\) are coprime. The author proves that the nilpotent length of \(G\) is equal to the nilpotent length of \(C_G(H)\) and the Fitting series of the fixed-point subgroup \(C_G(H)\) coincides with the series obtained by taking the intersection of \(C_G(H)\) with the Fitting series of \(G\). The author asks whether the condition that the orders of \(G\) and \(H\) are relatively prime is really necessary.
