Automorphisms of Finite Groups

From MaRDI portal





For a finite group \(G\), the authors define \(\text{Out}_c(G)=\Aut_c(G)/\text{Inn}(G)\), where \(\Aut_c(G)\) stands for the group of the so-called Coleman automorphisms of \(G\). A Coleman automorphism (C-automorphism for short) is \(\alpha\in\Aut(G)\) such that \(\alpha\) is a class-preserving automorphism, \(\alpha\) becomes inner on Sylow \(p\)-subgroups and \(\alpha^2\in\text{Inn}(G)\). The paper contains a number of sufficient conditions for \(\text{Out}_c(G)\) to be trivial. This is shown to happen provided that: 1) \(G\) is nilpotent-by-nilpotent with generalized quaternion Sylow 2-subgroups. 2) \(G\) is metabelian with dihedral Sylow 2-subgroups. 3) \(G\) has Abelian Sylow 2-subgroups and there exists a proper nilpotent normal subgroup \(N\) of \(G\) such that \(G/N\) has a normal Sylow 2-subgroup.
