Let G be a finite group and assume that a finite group of automorphisms A acts on G, such that the orders of A and G are relatively prime. We prove that the fact of imposing certain conditions on the set of maximal A-invariant subgroups of G, relating to nilpotency, p-nilpotency, normality or having p’-order, determines properties on the structure of G such as solubility, p-solubility or p-nilpotency.
