Jul 15, 2014 at 20:18 comment added Derek Holt I think $N$ should be a direct product of copies of $C_{l^d}$ rather than just $C_{l^d}$. I checked that the construction works for $d=2$ with $A=C_7$, $B=C_9$ and $N = C_4^6$, so it seems plausible that it works for higher $d$. Assuming that to be the case, I would say that the question is interesting!

Jul 15, 2014 at 13:12 comment added user55910 Can we prove that $f(exp(G)) \leq k f(G)$ with $k$ constant( maybe $k=3$)?
Jul 13, 2014 at 12:38 comment added Peter Mueller I doubt that this construction works: The cyclic group $N$ has an abelian automorphism group, so the non-abelian group $H$ cannot act faithfully on $N$. In particular, $H$ cannot act fixed-point-freely, as it should for $N$ being the Frobenius kernel.
Jul 13, 2014 at 10:18 comment added user55910 $H$ the semidirect product of a cyclic group $A=C_{p^{m}}$ by a cyclic group $B=C_{q^{n+1}}$ which induces an automorphism of order $q^{n}$ on $A$ ($p$ and $q$ primes appropriate). $N$ the nilpotent group $C_{l^{d}}$ with $l \neq p,q$. Let $G=NH$ of Frobenius. If $n=m=d-1$, then $f(exp(G))=3d-1$ and $f(G)=d$
Jul 12, 2014 at 17:46 comment added Peter Mueller Which Frobenius groups bring the quotient close to $3$?

Jul 11, 2014 at 19:46 comment added user55910 With Frobenuis group, we can construct a solvable group with $ f(exp(G))/f(G) \rightarrow 3$. But I don't know examples with $f(exp(G))=3f(G)$.

Jul 11, 2014 at 18:53 comment added Derek Holt Why $3f(G)$? Do you know examples with $f({\rm exp}(G)) = 3f(G)$?
