Let $G$ be a finite 2-group of nilpotency class two such that $\frac{G}{Z(G)}=\{Z(G), aZ(G), bZ(G), abZ(G)\}\simeq C_{2}\times C_{2}$. Then do there exist a non inner automorphism $\alpha$ of $G$ such that $\alpha(a)\neq a$, $\alpha(b)\neq b$ and $\alpha(ab)\neq ab$ ? For example this true for $D_{8}$, dihedral group of order 8, or $Q_{8}$, generalized quaternion group of order 8.

$\begingroup$ Could you say something about how you came across this question, because as written it looks like a homework question. $\endgroup$– Noah SnyderJun 7, 2012 at 5:12

$\begingroup$ Noah, it seems like it might not be homework, just yet another case (if you look at the OP's original question) of someone wanting information rather than thinking for themselves $\endgroup$– Yemon ChoiJun 7, 2012 at 17:15
