ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF A MINIMAL NONABELIAN P-GROUP (METACYCLIC CASE)

Izabela Malinowska

Abstract.   In this paper we find the complete structure for the automorphism groups of metacyclic minimal nonabelian 2-groups. This, together with [6,7], gives the complete answer to the Question 15 from [5] (respectively Question 20 from [4]) in the case of metacyclic groups. We also correct some inaccuracies and extend the results from [13].
