Abstract
An important unsolved question in number theory is the Lehmer's totient problem that asks whether there exists any composite number such that , where is the Euler's totient function. It is known that if any such exists, it must be odd, square-free, greater that , and divisible by at least distinct primes. Such a number must be also a Carmichael number. In this short note, we discuss a group-theoretical analogous problem involving the function that counts the number of automorphisms of a finite group. Another way to generalize the Lehmer's totient problem is also proposed.
