\section{Automorphisms}
\begin{definition}[Automorphism]
An isomorphism from a group $G$ onto itself is called an \textit{automorphisms} of $G$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Inner Automorphism Induced by $\mathbf{a}$]
Let $G$ be a group, and let $a \in G$. The function $\phi_a$ defined by $\phi_a(x) = axa^{-1}$ for all $x$ in $G$ is called the \textit{inner automorphism of $G$ induced by $a$}.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}[Aut($G$) and Inn($G$) Are Groups]
The set of automorphisms of a group and the set of inner automorphisms of a group are both groups under the operation of function composition.
When $G$ is a group, we use Aut($G$) to denote the set of all automorphisms of $G$ and Inn($G$) to denote the set of all inner automorphisms of $G$.

\begin{theorem}[Aut$\mathbf{(\Z_n) \approx U(n)}$]
For every positive integer $n$, Aut($\Z_n$) is isomorphic to $U(n)$.

\section{Definition and Examples}
\begin{definition}[Group Isomorphism]
An \textit{isomorphism} $\phi$ from a group $G$ to a group $\overline{G}$ is a one-to-one mapping (or function) from $G$ onto $\overline{G}$ that preserves the group operation. That is,
\[ \phi(ab) = \phi(a)\phi(b),\ \forall a,b \in G \]
If there is an isomorphism from $G$ onto $\overline{G}$, we say that $G$ and $\overline{G}$ are \textit{isomorphic} and write $G \approx \overline{G}$.

\section{Properties of Isomorphisms}
\begin{theorem}[Properties of Isomorphisms Acting on Elements]
Suppose that $\phi$ is an isomorphism from a group $G$ onto a group $\overline{G}$. Then
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\phi$ carries the identity of $G$ to the identity of $\overline{G}$.
\item For every integer $n$ and for every group element $a$ in $G$, $\phi(a^n)=[\phi(a)]^n$.
\item For any elements $a$ and $b$ in $G$, $a$ and $b$ commute if and only if $\phi(a)$ and $\phi(b)$ commute.
\item $G = \lr{a}$ if and only if $\overline{G} = \lr{\phi(a)}$.
\item $\abs{a}=\abs{\phi(a)}$ for all $a$ in $G$ (isomorphisms preserve orders).
\item For a fixed integer $k$ and a fixed group element $b$ in $G$, the equation $x^k=b$ has the same number of solutions in $G$ as does the equation $x^k = \phi(b)$ in $\overline{G}$.
\item If $G$ is finite, then $G$ and $\overline{G}$ have exactly the same number of elements of every order.
\end{enumerate}
\end{theorem}
\begin{theorem}[Properties of Isomorphisms Acting on Groups]
Suppose that $\phi$ is an isomorphism from a group $G$ onto a group $\overline{G}$. Then
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\phi^{-1}$ is an isomorphisms from $\overline{G}$ onto $G$.
\item $G$ is Abelian if and only if $\overline{G}$ is Abelian.
\item $G$ is cyclic if and only if $\overline{G}$ is cyclic.
\item If $K$ is a subgroup of $G$, then $\phi(K) = \{\phi(k)\ \vert\ k \in K\}$ is a subgroup of $\overline{G}$.
\item If $\overline{K}$ is a subgroup of $\overline{G}$, then $\phi^{-1}(\overline{K}) = \{g \in G\ \vert\ \phi(g) \in \overline{K}\}$ is a subgroup of $G$.
\item $\phi(Z(G))=Z(\overline{G})$.
\end{enumerate}
