Extract

A group G is said to be complete if the centre of G is trivial and every automorphism of G is inner; this means that G is naturally isomorphic to Aut G, the group of automorphisms of G. In response to a question of Rose (10) we shall describe the construction of an example demonstrating the following result. (Rose has pointed out that the problem was mentioned earlier by Miller (8).)
