The following results are proved. If $\\gamma_{k-2}(C_{G}(a))$ is nilpotent of class at most $c$ for any $a\\in A^{#}$, then $\\gamma_{k-2}(G)$ is nilpotent and has $\\{c,k,p\\}$-bounded nilpotency class. If, for some integer $d$ such that $2^{d}+2\\leq k$, the $d$th derived group of $C_{G}(a)$ is nilpotent of class at most $c$ for any $a\\in A^{#}$, then the $d$th derived group $G^{(d)}$ is nilpotent and has $\\{c,k,p\\}$-bounded nilpotency class. Earlier this was known only in the case where $k\\leq 4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-12-26T18:52:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D45", "20F40" ], "keywords": [ "finite groups", "coprime automorphisms", "th derived group", "bounded nilpotency class", "centralizers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.5880A" } } }
