Classifying finite groups G with three Aut(G)-orbits

Group Theory 2025-02-20 v2

Abstract

We give a complete and irredundant list of the finite groups GG for which Aut(G)(G), acting naturally on GG, has precisely 33 orbits. There are 7 infinite families: one abelian, one non-nilpotent, three families of non-abelian 22-groups and two families of non-abelian pp-groups with pp odd. The non-abelian 22-group examples were first classified by Bors and Glasby in 2020 and non-abelian pp-group examples with pp odd were classified independently by Li and Zhu, and by the author, in March 2024.
