Definition

Symbol-free definition

An automorphism of a group is termed central factor-extensible if, for every embedding of the group as a central factor of a group, the automorphism can be extended to an automorphism of the bigger group.

Definition with symbols

An automorphism σ of a group G is termed central factor-extensible if, for every embedding of G as a central factor in a group H, there exists an automorphism φ of H whose restriction to G is σ.

Relation with other properties

Stronger properties

Facts

In a centerless group, every automorphism is central factor-extensible. This is because any central factor that is centerless as a group must be a direct factor.
