Let A be a group of automorphisms of the finite group G such that (∣ A ∣, ∣ G ∣)=1. Then ∣ A ∣<∣ G ∣ 2 , and the exponent 2 here is best possible. If, moreover, A is nilpotent of class at most 2, then ∣ A ∣<∣ G ∣. If A is abelian, then A has a regular orbit on G . 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 20D45.
