Abstract

We obtain certain results on a finite pp-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving. In particular, we prove that if GG is a finite pp-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving, then d(G)d(G) is even, where d(G)d(G) denotes the number of elements in any minimal generating set for GG. As an application of these results, we obtain some results regarding finite pp-groups whose automorphisms are all class preserving. In particular, we prove that if GG is a finite pp-groups whose automorphisms are all class preserving, then order of GG is at least p8p^8 and the order of the automorphism group of GG is at least p12p^12.
