Talk:Extensible automorphism

From Groupprops

Jump to: navigation, search

Rationale for name

Extensible in English (and in most mathematical usages) means something that can be extended to a bigger structure. Thus, for an automorphism of a group that can always be extended to an automorphism of a group containing it, the term extensible is a reasonable choice.

The term was introduced by me in the extensible automorphisms problem.
