Popis: Let p be a prime. Let A be a finite group and M be a normal subgroup of A such that all elements in A ∖ M have order p. Suppose that A acts on a finite p ′ -group G in such a way that C G ( M ) = 1 . We show that if C G ( x ) is nilpotent for any x ∈ A ∖ M , then G is nilpotent. It is also proved that if A is a p-group and C G ( x ) is nilpotent of class at most c for any x ∈ A ∖ M , then the nilpotency class of G is bounded solely in terms of c and | A | .
