Let us consider the automorphism group of the special unitary group $G=SU(N)$. We know there is an exact sequence: $$ 0 \to \text{Inn}(G) \to \text{Aut}(G) \to \text{Out}(G) \to 0. $$ For $G=SU(2)...

I am reading BRAID GROUPS, FREE GROUPS, AND THE LOOP SPACE OF THE 2-SPHERE by F.R. Cohen and J. Wu and here is an extract of the paper: (The proof is not finished yet but I am very confused by now.) ...

Given a group $G$, we denote the center Z$(G)$, we like to know the automorphism group Aut($G$), the outer automorphism Out($G$) and the inner automorphism Inn($G$). They form short exact sequences: $$...
