First show . If commutes with and , then because . But , so the nonidentity element lies in , contradicting the Frobenius complement property. Thus conjugation by has no nonidentity fixed element in the Frobenius kernel.
Normality of makes
well-defined. If , cancellation gives , and hence commutes with . Since and , we obtain . The map is injective, and an injection of a finite set into itself is surjective. Consequently
This is the commutator bijection from a fixed-point-free automorphism, applied to .
