Complete group
In mathematics, a group is said to be complete if every automorphism of is inner, and it is centerless; that is, it has a trivial outer automorphism group and trivial center. Equivalently, a group is complete if the conjugation map, (sending an element to conjugation by ), is an isomorphism: injectivity implies that only conjugation by the identity element is the identity automorphism, meaning the group is centerless, while surjectivity implies it has no outer automorphisms.
