Abstract:
A nilpotent group whose group of outer automorphisms is trivial may contain elements of finite order. This paper is concerned with how large the Sylow $p$-subgroups of such a group can be. We show that in many cases the Sylow $p$-subgroups of such a semicomplete nilpotent group are always finite.References
