An independence theorem for automorphisms of torsion-free groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
This paper considers the relationship between the automorphism group of a torsion-free nilpotent group and the automorphism groups of its subgroups and factor groups. If G2 is the derived group of the group G let Aut (G, G2) be the group of automorphisms of G which induce the identity on G/G2, and if B is a subgroup of Aut G let B¯ be the image of B in Aut G/Aut (G, G2). A p–group or torsion-free group G is said to be special if G2 coincides with Z(G), the centre of G, and G/G2 and G2 are both elementary abelian p–groups or free abelian groups.
