Abstract

Suppose that a finite group G admits an automorphism of order 2n such that the fixed-point subgroup of the involution is nilpotent of class c. Let m = ) be the number of fixed points of . It is proved that G has a characteristic soluble subgroup of derived length bounded in terms of n, c whose index is bounded in terms of m, n, c. A similar result is also proved for Lie rings.
