Abstract The influence of the cyclic subgroups of order p or 4 of the focal subgroup of a saturated fusion system F over a p -group S is investigated in this paper. Some criteria for normality of S in F as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for nilpotency of F are given. The resistance of a p -group in which every cyclic subgroup of order p or 4 is normal, and earlier results about p -nilpotence of finite groups and nilpotency of saturated fusion systems are consequences of our study.
