Can $\text{Aut}(G)$ be extended to contain $G$?
Let $G$ be a group (finite, say) with center $Z$. The automorphism group $\text{Aut}(G)$ sits in a short exact sequence
$$ 1 \to G/Z \to \text{Aut}(G) \to \text{Out}(G) \to 1. $$
So when $Z\neq 1$, as ...

Explicit formula for general group extension in terms of cartesian product set
According to Wikipedia and ncat lab general group extensions
$$N\rightarrow G\rightarrow Q$$
are classified by a group homomorphism
$$\rho: Q\rightarrow \operatorname{Out}(N)$$
subject to a constraint ...
