Fitting-series containment conjecture under centralizing fixed points

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let GG be a solvable group and let AA act on GG by automorphisms with (∣A∣,∣G∣)=1(|A|,|G|)=1. Let F(G)F(G) be the Fitting subgroup, define F0(G)=1F_0(G)=1, F1(G)=F(G)F_1(G)=F(G), and let Fi+1(G)F_{i+1}(G) be the full inverse image of F(G/Fi(G))F(G/F_i(G)) in GG. Let PP be an AA-invariant Sylow pp-subgroup of GG such that p∉π(CG(A))p\notin\pi(C_G(A)), and suppose that CG(A)C_G(A) normalizes and centralizes PP. Let l(A)l(A) be the number of prime factors of ∣A∣|A|, counted with multiplicity. Centralizing fixed-points conjecture. PP is contained in Fn(G)F_n(G) where n=l(A)n=l(A). This weaker conjecture is stated as a consequence of the first conjecture and would imply the well-known conjecture that the Fitting height of GG is bounded by l(A)l(A) when CG(A)=1C_G(A)=1; the supplied text does not indicate whether it is proved or refuted.
