In mathematics, an automorphism is an isomorphism from a mathematical object to itself. It is, in some sense, a symmetry of the object, and a way of mapping the object to itself while preserving all of its structure. The set of all automorphisms of an object forms a group, called the automorphism group. It is, loosely speaking, the symmetry group of the object.
nontrivial automorphism: negation. Considered as a ring, however, it has only the trivial automorphism. Generally speaking, negation is an automorphism of any...
In abstract algebra an inner automorphism is an automorphism of a group, ring, or algebra given by the conjugation action of a fixed element, called the...
an automorphism group is also called a symmetry group. A subgroup of an automorphism group is sometimes called a transformation group. Automorphism groups...
can be represented as the automorphism group of a connected graph – indeed, of a cubic graph. Constructing the automorphism group is at least as difficult...
up to an element of S6 (an inner automorphism)) yields an outer automorphism S6 → S6. This map is an outer automorphism, since a transposition does not...
itself forms a group, the automorphism group of G . {\displaystyle G.} For all abelian groups there is at least the automorphism that replaces the group...
{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} in the usual way, one has the typical toral automorphism on the quotient. The fundamental group of an n-torus is a free abelian...
subgroup. An IA automorphism is thus an automorphism that sends each coset of the commutator subgroup to itself. The IA automorphisms of a group form...

In mathematics, the outer automorphism group of a group, G, is the quotient, Aut(G) / Inn(G), where Aut(G) is the automorphism group of G and Inn(G) is...
generates a subgroup of the automorphism group of S. If S = Spec k is the spectrum of a finite field, then its automorphism group is the Galois group of...
theory, a class automorphism is an automorphism of a group that sends each element to within its conjugacy class. The class automorphisms form a subgroup...
mathematics, a Kolmogorov automorphism, K-automorphism, K-shift or K-system is an invertible, measure-preserving automorphism defined on a standard probability...

the automorphism group of An is the symmetric group Sn, with inner automorphism group An and outer automorphism group Z2; the outer automorphism comes...
In mathematics, an automorphic function is a function on a space that is invariant under the action of some group, in other words a function on the quotient...
power automorphism of a group is an automorphism that takes each subgroup of the group to within itself. It is worth noting that the power automorphism of...
quotientable automorphism of a group is an automorphism that takes every normal subgroup to within itself. As a result, it gives a corresponding automorphism for...
composition is an automorphism. This involution is often called the contragredient map, and it provides an example of an outer automorphism of the general...
isomorphism from a partially ordered set to itself is called an order automorphism. When an additional algebraic structure is imposed on the posets ( S...

Iskovskikh–Manin (1971) showed that the birational automorphism group of a smooth quartic 3-fold is equal to its automorphism group, which is finite. In this sense...

In mathematics, more particularly in the fields of dynamical systems and geometric topology, an Anosov map on a manifold M is a certain type of mapping...

theory, the automorphism group of a free group is a discrete group of automorphisms of a free group. The quotient by the inner automorphisms is the outer...
