Abstract:
Suppose that a finite group G admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms BA with kernel B and complement A. It is proved that if N is a BA-invariant normal subgroup of G such that (|N|,|B|)=1 and CN(B)=1 then CG/N(A)=CG(A)N/N. If N=G is a nilpotent group then we give as a corollary some description of the fixed points CL(G)(A) in the associated Lie ring L(G) in terms of CG(A). In particular, this applies to the case where GB is a Frobenius group as well (so that GBA is a 2-Frobenius group, with not necessarily coprime orders of G and A).
