Definition

A group in which any two elements generating the same cyclic subgroup are automorphic is a group $G$ satisfying the following equivalent conditions:

1. $g,h \in G$ are such that $\langle g \rangle = \langle h \rangle$, then there is an automorphism of $G$ sending $g$ to $h$.
2. There exists a group $K$ containing $G$ as a normal subgroup such that all elements of $G$ are rational elements of $K$.

Relation with other properties

Stronger properties

• Group with two conjugacy classes
• Group whose automorphism group is transitive on non-identity elements
• Group in which every element is order-conjugate
• Group in which every element is order-automorphic
• Rational group
• Finite abelian group

Weaker properties

• Group in which every element is automorphic to its inverse

Facts

• Normal subgroup of rational group implies any two elements generating the same cyclic subgroup are automorphic
• Alternating group implies any two elements generating the same cyclic subgroup are automorphic
