Double automorphisms of graded Lie algebras

We introduce the concept of a double automorphism of an A-graded Lie algebra L. Roughly, this is an automorphism of L which also induces an automorphism of the group A. It is clear that the set of all double automorphisms of L forms a subgroup in Aut(L). In the present paper we prove several nilpotency criteria for a graded Lie algebra admitting a finite group of double automorphisms. We also give an application of our results to groups admitting a Frobenius group of automorphisms.
