inner automorphism


Let G be a group. For every xG, we define amapping

ϕx:GG,yxyx-1,yG,

called conjugationMathworldPlanetmath by x.It is easy to show the conjugation map is in fact, a group automorphismMathworldPlanetmath.

An automorphismPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of G that corresponds to conjugation by somexG is called inner. An automorphism that isn’t inner is calledan outer automorphism.

The composition operation gives the set of all automorphisms of Gthe structureMathworldPlanetmath of a group, Aut(G). The innerautomorphisms also form a group, Inn(G), which is anormal subgroupMathworldPlanetmath of Aut(G). Indeed, if ϕx,xG is an inner automorphism and π:GG an arbitraryautomorphism, then

πϕxπ-1=ϕπ(x).

Let us also note that the mapping

xϕx,xG

is a surjectivePlanetmathPlanetmath group homomorphism with kernelZ(G), the centre subgroupMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath. Consequently,Inn(G) is naturally isomorphic to the quotient ofG/Z(G).

Note: the above definitions and assertions hold, mutatis mutandi, if we definethe conjugation action of xG on B to be the right action

yx-1yx,yG,

rather than the left action given above.
