A longstanding conjecture asserts that $G$ admits a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. We confirm the conjecture in case $Z(G)$ is not cyclic. As a consequence, we also find necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ such that the group of all central automorphisms of $G$ is minimal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-08T05:34:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D15", "20D45" ], "keywords": [ "non-inner automorphism", "non-cyclic center", "central automorphisms", "sufficient conditions", "longstanding conjecture asserts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
