Finite groups with large automizers for their nonabelian subgroups (Q1383595)

For a subgroup \(H\) of a finite group \(G\) denote \(\Aut_G(H)=N_G(H)/C_G(H)\) to be the automizer of \(H\) in \(G\). Since \(\text{Inn}(H)\) is isomorphic to a subgroup of \(\Aut_G(H)\) which is embedded in \(\Aut(H)\), the authors identify \(\Aut_G(H)\) as small if \(\Aut_G(H)\cong\text{Inn}(H)\) and large if \(\Aut_G(H)\cong\Aut(H)\). H. Zassenhaus proved that a finite group \(G\) is abelian if and only if the automizers of all abelian subgroups are small. By replacing `small' with `large', this was supplemented by \textit{H. Bechtell}, \textit{G. Silberberg} and \textit{M. Deaconescu} [Can. Math. Bull. 40, No. 3, 266-270 (1997; Zbl 0891.20016)] and extended to all subgroups by \textit{J. Lennox} and \textit{J. Wiegold} [Rend. Semin. Mat. Univ. Padova 89, 83-86 (1993; Zbl 0802.20026)]. In this article, the authors prove that the collection of finite groups with large automizers for their nonabelian subgroups comprises those which are holomorphs of groups of odd prime order.
