Abstract: We study the automorphism group of Hall's universal locally finite group $H$. We show that in $Aut(H)$ every subgroup of index $<2^{o}mega$ lies between the pointwise and the setwise stabilizer of a unique finite subgroup $A$ of $H$, and use this to prove that $Aut(H)$ is complete. We further show that $Inn(H)$ is the largest locally finite normal subgroup of $Aut(H)$. Finally, we observe that from the work of [Sh:312] it follows that for every countable locally finite $G$ there exists $Gcong{G}^{\prime }leqH$ such that every $finAut(G^{\prime })$ extends to an $hatfinAut(H)$ in such a way that $fmapstohatf$ embeds $Aut(G^{\prime })$ into $Aut(H)$. In particular, we solve the three open questions of Hickin on $Aut(H)$ from [3], and give a partial answer to Question VI.5 of Kegel and Wehrfritz from [6].
