2.I.2C

Groups, Rings and Modules | Part IB, 2005

Define an automorphism of a group GG, and the natural group law on the set Aut(G)\operatorname{Aut}(G) of all automorphisms of GG. For each fixed hh in GG, put ψ(h)(g)=hgh1\psi(h)(g)=h g h^{-1} for all gg in GG. Prove that ψ(h)\psi(h) is an automorphism of GG, and that ψ\psi defines a homomorphism from GG into Aut(G)\operatorname{Aut}(G).
