Suppose that a finite group G admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms FH with kernel F and complement H such that the fixed-point subgroup of F is trivial: CG(F ) = 1. In this situation various properties of G are shown to be close to the corresponding properties of CG(H). By using Clifford’s theorem it is proved that the order |G| is bounded in terms of |H| and |CG(H)|, the rank of G is boun...

A nilpotent quotient algorithm for finitely presented Lie rings over Z (LIENQ) is described. The paper studies the graded and non-graded cases separately. The algorithm computes the so-called nilpotent presentation for a finitely presented, nilpotent Lie ring. A nilpotent presentation consists of generators for the abelian group and the products expressed as linear combinations for pairs formed...
