Extract

Let S be a finite p-group and let σ be a p'-automorphism of S. A well-known result of Huppert ((2), IV, (5·12), Satz) states that if σ acts trivially onΩ1(S) (ω2(S) if p = 2) then σ is the identity. In this paper, we give a short proof of this result and also give some applications of it. Our proof depends on a somewhat surprising Lemma (Lemma 1) which is of some interest in its own right.
