Extract

Of particular importance in the structure theory of finitely generated groups are those groups G having the property ℳd that for any two sets of generators g1, …, gd; h1, …, hd of G there is an automorphism θ of G such that (i = 1, …, d). Gaschütz(1) proved that all groups G having† ℳd also possess a further manifestation of symmetry, the property that if M and N are finite normal subgroups of G, any isomorphism between G/M and G/N can be induced by an automorphism of G. The case in which G is a finite p-group had previously been considered by Taunt (6) and Liebeck(2), who proved that for such groups the above property on the quotient groups of G is equivalent to ℳd.
