outer automorphism in a sentence
Examples
- The extra outer automorphism in A 6 swaps the 3-cycles ( like ( 123 ) ) with elements of shape 3 2 ( like ( 123 ) ( 456 ) ).
- This is simply connected, has maximal compact subgroup the compact form ( see below ) of E 8, and has an outer automorphism group of order 2 generated by complex conjugation.
- The triality automorphism of Spin ( 8 ) lives in the outer automorphism group of Spin ( 8 ) which is isomorphic to the symmetric group S 3 that permutes these three representations.
- The permutation representations on 11 and 12 points can both be seen inside the Mathieu group M12 as two different embeddings of M 11 in M 12, exchanged by an outer automorphism.
- The outer automorphism group of a finite simple group in some infinite family of finite simple groups can almost always be given by a uniform formula that works for all elements of the family.
- In one dimension, the only Lie algebra is the abelian Lie algebra "'R "'1, with outer automorphism group the group of non-zero real numbers.
- Conjugation by even elements are inner automorphisms of A " n " while the outer automorphism of A " n " of order 2 corresponds to conjugation by an odd element.
- The Schur multiplier of the Tits group is trivial and its outer automorphism group has order 2, with the full automorphism group being the group 2 " F " 4 ( 2 ).
- Thus Aut ( " S " 6 ) acts on these two conjugacy classes ( and the outer automorphism above interchanges these conjugacy classes ), and an index 2 subgroup stabilizes the transpositions.
- For " n " even there is instead an outer automorphism interchanging the two types of reflections ( properly, a class of outer automorphisms, which are all conjugate by an inner automorphism ).
