In particular, we prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving, then $d(G)$ is even, where $d(G)$ denotes the number of elements in any minimal generating set for $G$. As an application of these results, we obtain some results regarding finite $p$-groups whose automorphisms are all class preserving. In particular, we prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-groups whose automorphisms are all class preserving, then order of $G$ is at least $p^8$ and the order of the automorphism group of $G$ is at least $p^12$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-05-17T02:22:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D45", "20D15" ], "keywords": [ "class preserving", "central automorphisms", "automorphism group", "results regarding finite", "minimal generating set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.3046Y" } } }
