### If $G$ has no non-trivial automorphism, then $G$ is abelian and $g^2 = e$ for all $g \in G$ . [duplicate]

If $G$ has no non-trivial automorphism, then $G$ is abelian and $g^2 = e$ for all $g \in G$ . With the assumption, I dont know how to start the proof. If there is no non-trivial automorphism,...

### Every finite group of order more than two has a nontrivial automorphism [duplicate]

I want to prove that every finite group $G$ of order more than 2 has a nontrivial automorphism. I've seen this question answered on this site for infinite groups, but the proofs given use the fact ...

### Particular nontrivial group has a nonidentity automorphism [duplicate]

If $G$ is a nontrivial group that is not cyclic of order 2, then $G$ has a nonidentity automorphism. This is the exercise of hungerford algebra in the chapter $IV$ MODULES. Can you help me please?

### Prove that if Aut($G$) is the trivial group, then so is $G$? [duplicate]

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group. Show that if Aut($G$) is the trivial group, then so is $G$. I know that if Aut($G$) is the trivial group then $G$ must be abelian but I'm not sure how to use ...

### Let $G$ be a group such that $|G| \ge 3$ then $|AutG| \ge 2$. [duplicate]

Let $G$ be a group such that $|G| \ge 3$ then $|AutG| \ge 2$. How can I approach to this problem? It is necessary to divide in cases? For G finite and infinite, or Abelian and non-Abelian? The ...

### Existence of nontrivial automorphism for a group $G$ with $o(G)>2$ [duplicate]

Prove that every finite group having more than two elements has a nontrivial automorphism. Proof: Let $G$ is a group such that $o(G)>2$. Let's consider three following cases: If $G$ is not ...

[duplicate] I was trying to show that there exist a nontrivial automorphism$\pi$in$\text{Aut}(G)$, and I am taking the case that$G$is abelian because if$G$is nonabelian it is trivial. If there exists an$\...
I have known that the only finite group which has only one automorphism is the cyclic group with order less than $2$. But what's the infinite situation? Is there any infinite group which also ...
### groups $G$ such that $Aut(G)$ is trivial [duplicate]
Is it true that, if $G$ is a group such that $Aut(G)$ is trivial, then $G$ is of order at most $2$? Thanks in advance.
