Definition

An automorphism $\sigma$ of a group $G$ is termed a rational class-preserving automorphism if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

• For any $g\in G$, there exists $h\in G$ such that $⟨\sigma (g)⟩$ and $⟨hg{h}^{-1}⟩$ are equal.
• $\sigma$ sends every cyclic subgroup to a conjugate subgroup.
