Complete Group

Complete Group

In mathematics, a group G is said to be complete if every automorphism of G is inner, and the group is a centerless group; that is, it has a trivial outer automorphism group and trivial center. Equivalently, a group is complete if the conjugation map (sending an element g to conjugation by g) is an isomorphism: 1-to-1 corresponds to centerless, onto corresponds to no outer automorphisms.

Famous quotes containing the words complete and/or group:

    Each of us is incomplete compared to someone else, an animal’s incomplete compared to a person ... and a person compared to God, who is complete only to be imaginary.
    Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

    Laughing at someone else is an excellent way of learning how to laugh at oneself; and questioning what seem to be the absurd beliefs of another group is a good way of recognizing the potential absurdity of many of one’s own cherished beliefs.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
