Some special coprime actions and their consequences (Q6597193)

Let a group \(A\) act on the group \(G\) coprimely. The authors determine bounds for the \(p\)-length of \(G\) in terms of the order of \(A.\) In particular, denoting with \(l(A:B)\) the length of the longest chain of subgroups of \(A\) that starts with \(B\) and ends with \(A\), the authors prove: let \(A\) be a group acting coprimely and with regular orbits on the solvable group \(G\) and suppose that \(B\) is a subgroup of \(A\) such that \(\cap_{a\in A}[G,B]^a=1;\) if \(p\) is a prime not dividing \(|C_G(A)|,\) then \(l_p(G)\leq l(A:B).\) Moreover, it is investigated how some \(A\)-invariant \(p\)-subgroups are embedded in \(G\). In particular, suppose that \(A\) is abelian and that \(G\) contains a unique \(A\)-invariant Sylow \(p\)-subgroup \(P\) where \(C_G(A)\) is a \(p^\prime\)-group. If \(G\) is \(p\)-solvable, then \(l_p(G)\leq l(A)\) and if \(G\) is solvable and \(p\) is odd, then \(P\leq F_{2l(A)}(G).\)
