Suppose that we are given an isomorphism ϕ between two subgroups of index p in a finite p-group P. Let N(ϕ) be the largest subgroup of P fixed by ϕ. By a result of Sims [2, Proposition 2.1], n(ϕ) is a normal subgroup of P. In [2], we showed that P/N(ϕ) has nilpotence class at most two if p = 2, and at most three if p is odd. We then applied this result to investigate certain cases of the following question. Suppose that P is contained in a finite group G and that some subgroup of index p in P is a normal subgroup of G. Let α be an automorphism of P. Then, does α fix some nonidentity normal subgroup of P that is normal in G?

In this paper, we consider characteristic subgroups of P rather than normal subgroups.
