An outer automorphism group is the group of all automorphisms of a given group that are not inner automorphisms, meaning they cannot be represented as conjugation by elements of the group itself. This concept helps in understanding the structure of groups, especially finite groups, by capturing symmetries that arise from group actions and revealing additional layers of complexity within the group's structure.
congrats on reading the definition of Outer Automorphism Groups. now let's actually learn it.
