Apr 17, 2020 at 4:06 comment added Joshua Grochow @Primoz or OP - add as an answer?
Jun 19, 2013 at 17:17 comment added Yassine Guerboussa @Primoz : Thank you so much. Just I note that an affirmative answer to my question follows from THEOREM 2.10. in Iyer's paper. This result is due to K. H. Hyde : "On the order of the automorphism group of a finite group, Ph.D.Thesis, University of Utah, 1969.
Jun 18, 2013 at 14:23 comment added Yassine Guerboussa @ Alex Bartel : I'm sorry, for the divisibility conjecture we have to assume that our p-group has order at least p^3. This conjecture is trivially false for p-groups of order p and p^2, for the cyclic one, the automorphism groups have order p-1. and a group of order p^2 is either cyclic, so its automorphism group has order p(p-1), or is elementary abelian, so its automorphism group is Gl(2, p) which has p (p-1)^2 elements.
Jun 17, 2013 at 22:34 comment added Alex B. Your divisibility conjecture is not true. The order of $C_2\times C_2$ does not divide the order of its automorphism group $\text{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_2)\cong S_3$.

Jun 17, 2013 at 16:59 comment added Fernando Muro You could edit your question accordingly, adding also the reasons why you think it's true.
Jun 17, 2013 at 16:43 comment added Yassine Guerboussa @Fernando Muru, I'm not sure, I just think that is true.
Jun 17, 2013 at 16:27 comment added Fernando Muro Are you sure that your assertion is true?
