In this paper we shall classify all finite groups in which the centralizer of every involution has a normal 2-complement. For brevity, we call such a group an I-group. To state our classification theorem precisely, we need a preliminary definition. As is well-known, the automorphism group G = PΓL(2, q) of H= PSL(2, q), q= pn , is of the form G = LF, where L = PGL(2, q), L ⨞ G, F is cyclic of order n, L ∩ F = 1, and the elements of F are induced from semilinear transformations of the natural vector space on which GL(2, q) acts; cf. (3, Lemma 2.1) or (7, Lemma 3.3). It follows at once (4, Lemma 2.1; 8, Lemma 3.1) that the groups H and L are each I-groups. Moreover, when q is an odd square, there is another subgroup of G in addition to L that contains H as a subgroup of index 2 and which is an I-group.
