Many authors have investigated the behaviour of the elements of finite order of a group G when finiteness conditions are imposed on the automorphism group Aut G of G. The first result was obtained in 1955 by Baer [1], who proved thata torsion group with finitely many automorphisms is finite. This theorem was generalized by Nagrebeckii in [6], where he proved that if the automorphism group Aut G is finite then the set of elements of finite order of G is a finite subgroup.
