A note on non-inner automorphism conjecture

Group Theory 2021-06-01 v3

Abstract

In this paper we prove that every 22-generator finite pp-group GG has a non-inner automorphism of order pp leaving Gpγ4(G)G^p\gamma_4(G) elementwise fixed (p5p\ge 5). Moreover, we prove a 22-generator finite 33-group satisfying Ω1(Z2(G))=p2|\Omega_1(Z_2(G))|=p^2 has a non-inner automorphism of order pp leaving Gpγ3(G)G^p\gamma_3(G) elementwise fixed. As a consequence we prove the non-inner automorphism conjecture for every finite pp-group of coclass 44 (p3p\ge 3), and coclass 55 (p5p\ge 5).
