Inner holomorph of a group

From Groupprops
(Redirected from Inner holomorph)

Definition

Let G be a group. The inner holomorph of G can be defined as the semidirect product GInn(G) where Inn(G) is the inner automorphism group with the usual action.

It is a subgroup of the holomorph GAut(G) and is a quotient of the direct product G×G.

Facts

When G is an group having an automorphism whose restriction to the center is the inverse map, this is isomorphic to the central product of two copies of G with the center Z(G) of both copies identified: G*Z(G)G.

If G is a group whose center is a direct factor, this group is isomorphic to the direct product of G and Inn(G).
