Finite groups with a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order, r say, are nilpotent and what’s more there exist bounds on the nilpotency class dependent on the prime r. If we instead considered a p-group with a small simple group of automorphisms which contain an element of order r acting fixed-point-freely then can we give stronger bounds on the nilpotency class?
