Paper 4, Section I, G

Groups, Rings and Modules | Part IB, 2018

(a) Show that every automorphism α\alpha of the dihedral group D6D_{6} is equal to conjugation by an element of D6D_{6}; that is, there is an hD6h \in D_{6} such that

α(g)=hgh1\alpha(g)=h g h^{-1}

for all gD6g \in D_{6}.

(b) Give an example of a non-abelian group GG with an automorphism which is not equal to conjugation by an element of GG.
