Abstract

We have proved that the group of all inner automorphisms of the free Burnside group B(m,n)B(m,n) is the unique normal subgroup in Aut(B(m,n))Aut(B(m,n)) among all its subgroups, which are isomorphic to free Burnside group B(s,n)B(s,n) of some rank ss for all odd n1003n\ge1003 and m>1m>1. It follows that the group of automorphisms Aut(B(m,n))Aut(B(m,n)) of the free Burnside group B(m,n)B(m,n) is complete for odd n1003n\ge1003, that is it has a trivial center and any automorphism of Aut(B(m,n))Aut(B(m,n)) is inner. Thus, for groups B(m,n)B(m,n) is solved the automorphism tower problem and is showed that it is as short as the automorphism tower of the absolutely free groups. Moreover, proved that every automorphism of End(B(m,n))End(B(m,n)) is a conjugation by an element of Aut(B(m,n))Aut(B(m,n)).
