In a recent important paper of Goldschmidt [3], all finite simple groups were determined in which a non-trivial abelian 2-subgroup controls 2-fusion. Our purpose here is to present a straightforward application of this deep result to the following general question: If p is a prime and G is a finite group of order not divisible by p which admits an automorphism σ of order pn, what conditions on the fixed point subgroup CG(σ) will ensure that G is solvable?
