Class-preserving Coleman automorphisms of finite groups with Wreathed Sylow 2-subgroups
Riccardo Aragona
Abstract
We show that if $G$ is a finite group whose Sylow $2$-subgroups are wreathed, then the intersection $\Outc(G) \cap \OutCol(G)$ has odd order, where $\Outc(G)$ and $\OutCol(G)$ denote the class-preserving and Coleman outer automorphism groups, respectively. This implies that $G$ satisfies the normalizer problem for its integral group ring. Combined with earlier work on the dihedral and semidihedral cases, this settles the question for all three families of $2$-groups of $2$-rank two classified by Gorenstein--Walter and Alperin--Brauer--Gorenstein.
