MAIN THEOREM. Let P be a finite 2-group and let H be a group of automorphisms of P fixing the involutions of P. Then H/O2 (H) is isomorphic with a subgroup of a direct product of certain dihedral groups; the orders of these dihedral groups have the form 2pn, where the only restriction on the odd prime powers pn is that each should divide some integer of the form 2s+ 1. In particular, H is soluble.The method of proof is to study the structure of H first under the assumption that it is soluble. We begin in § 1 with a useful reduction theorem and a discussion of the so-called ultraspecial groups it yields. We then investigate restrictions on H when H is cyclic in § 2, nilpotent in § 3, of odd order in § 4, and soluble in § 5. Finally, in § 6 we prove that H is indeed always soluble.
