The Occurrence of Certain Types of Groups as Automorphism Groups

Abstract

dc:description

This dissertation is a study of the relationship between the structure of a group and that of its automorphism group. We examine the characteristics of groups G whose automorphism group Aut G has specified properties. If H = Aut G for some group G, we call H an automorphism group. We will see that there are many classes of groups which are not automorphism groups, and many other classes which are automorphism groups of certain types of groups only.
