On Groups with a Class-preserving Outer Automorphism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four infinite families of 2-groups are presented, all of whose members possess an outer automorphism that preserves conjugacy classes. The groups in these families are central extensions of their predecessors by a cyclic group of order 2. In particular, for each integer r > 1, there is precisely one 2-group of nilpotency class r in each of the four families. All other known families of 2-groups possessing a class-preserving outer automorphism consist entirely of groups of nilpotency class 2.

On equality of absolute central and class preserving automorphisms of finite $p$-groups
Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian $p$-group and $L(G)$ denotes the absolute center of $G$. Also, let $Aut^{L}(G)$ and $Aut_c(G)$ denote the group of all absolute central and the class preserving automorphisms of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $G$ such that $Aut_c(G)=Aut^{L}(G)$. We also characterize all finite non-abelian $p$-groups of order $p^...
متن کاملMapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are C -simple
We prove that the reduced C -algebras of centerless mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are simple, as are the irreducible pure subgroups of mapping class groups and the analogous subgroups of outer automorphism groups of free groups. r 2003 Elsevier Inc.

متن کاملOn the nilpotency class of the automorphism group of some finite p-groups
Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.
متن کاملOuter automorphism groups of some ergodic equivalence relations
Let R a be countable ergodic equivalence relation of type II1 on a standard probability space (X,μ). The group Out R of outer automorphisms of R consists of all invertible Borel measure preserving maps of the space which map R-classes to R-classes modulo those which preserve almost every R-class. We analyze the group Out R for relations R generated by actions of higher rank lattices, providing ...
متن کاملThe Outer Automorphism Groups of Two-generator, One-relator Groups with Torsion
The main result of this paper is a complete classification of the outer automorphism groups of two-generator, one-relator groups with torsion. To this classification we apply recent algorithmic results of Dahmani– Guirardel, which yields an algorithm to compute the isomorphism class of the outer automorphism group of a given two-generator, one-relator group with torsion.
