Abstract

It is well known that the graph isomorphism problem is polynomial-time reducible to the graph automorphism problem (in fact these two problems are polynomial-time equivalent). We show that, analogously, the group isomorphism problem is polynomial-time reducible to the group automorphism problem. Reductions to other relevant problems like automorphism counting are also given.
