This is the property of being a variety-extensible automorphism for the following variety of algebras: fixed-class nilpotent groups

Definition

Definition with symbols

Let $G$ be a nilpotent group and let $c$ be the nilpotence class of $G$. An automorphism $\sigma$ of $G$ is said to be fixed-class extensible if, for any embedding $G\leq H$ in a group $H$ of nilpotence class $c$, there exists an automorphism $\sigma '$ of $H$ such that the restriction of $\sigma '$ to $G$ is $\sigma$.
