Definition
An automorphism of a group is termed a strong power automorphism if it is a power automorphism and its inverse is also a power automorphism.
Facts
- For a finite group, and more generally, a periodic group, any power automorphism is a strong power automorphism.
- The identity map in any group, and the inverse map in an abelian group, are strong power automorphisms.
- A strong power automorphism must send any element of infinite order to itself or its inverse.
