Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and \Aut(G)\Aut(G) the automorphism group of GG. The autocommuting probability of GG, denoted by Pr(G,\Aut(G))\Pr(G, \Aut(G)), is the probability that a randomly chosen automorphism of GG fixes a randomly chosen element of GG. In this paper, we study Pr(G,\Aut(G))\Pr(G, \Aut(G)) through a generalization. We obtain a computing formula, several bounds and characterizations of GG through Pr(G,\Aut(G))\Pr(G, \Aut(G)). We conclude the paper by showing that the generalized autocommuting probability of GG remains unchanged under autoisoclinism.
