Exponent of a finite group of odd order with an involutory automorphism

Abstract: Let

G

be a finite group of odd order admitting an involutory automorphism

p h i

. We obtain two results bounding the exponent of

[G, p h i]

. Denote by

G_{- p h i}

the set

[g, p h i], v e r t, g i n G

and by

G_{p h i}

the centralizer of

p h i

, that is, the subgroup of fixed points of

p h i

. The obtained results are as follows.1. Assume that the subgroup

l a n g l e x, y a n g l e

has derived length at most

d

and

x^{e} = 1

for every

x, y i n G_{- p h i}

. Suppose that

G_{p} h i

is nilpotent of class

c

. Then the exponent of

[G, p h i]

is

(c, d, e)

-bounded.2. Assume that

G_{p} h i

has rank

r

and

x^{e} = 1

for each

x i n G_{- p h i}

. Then the exponent of

[G, p h i]

is

(e, r)

-bounded.
