Jan 26, 2017 at 11:35 comment added Derek Holt Or examples of form $Z_p \rtimes Z_{q^2}$ with nontrivial action but with $Z_q$ centralizing $Z_p$. I think you could prove that $G$ either has one of a limited list of easy structures or $G$ is simple. Either $|G|=p^3$ or a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ has order $p$ or $p^2$ and hence is abelian. If it is self-normalizing then you can apply Burnside's Transfer Theorem to get a normal $p$-complement. That's my contribution!

Jan 26, 2017 at 11:32 comment added H.Shahsavari Oh... that's true. I forgot about it. I will update the question adding this case.
Jan 26, 2017 at 11:24 comment added Nick Gill I don't think your claim is right -- what about $Z_p\times Z_{q^2}$, for $p$ and $q$ distinct primes? If you want to classify these things, I'd try and figure out the structure of the generalized Fitting group of $G$.
Jan 26, 2017 at 9:52 comment added H.Shahsavari Can we claim that if $G$ is not a p-group or a Frobenius group, then it is always a simple group?
Jan 26, 2017 at 9:51 comment added H.Shahsavari @Professors Holt and Gill. Can you help me to find a complete classification of such groups?
Jan 26, 2017 at 9:35 comment added Derek Holt Or $Z_{31}$ in $L_5(2)$ of $Z_{127}$ in $ L_7(2)$ or $Z_{8191}$ in $L_{13}(2)$, etc., or $Z_{1093}$ in $L_7(3)$.
Jan 26, 2017 at 9:28 comment added Nick Gill What about $L=Z_{13}$ inside $PSL_3(3)$?
Jan 26, 2017 at 9:18 comment added Geoff Robinson This question has a strange form. You make a statement, and then ask if it is true.
