This article defines an automorphism property, viz a property of group automorphisms. Hence, it also defines a function property (property of functions from a group to itself)

Definition

Symbol-free definition

An automorphism of a group is termed subgroup-conjugating if, under the action of this automorphism, each subgroup goes to a conjugate subgroup.

Definition with symbols

An automorphism σ of a group is termed subgroup-conjugating if for any HG, there exists a gG such that σ(H)=gHg1.

Group-closedness

This automorphism property is group-closed: it is closed under the group operations on automorphisms (composition, inversion and the identity map). It follows that the subgroup comprising automorphisms with this property, is a normal subgroup of the automorphism group

The subgroup-conjugating automorphisms of a group form a subgroup of its automorphism group.
