Roughly, an automorphism is a map from a mathematical object onto itself such that: 1.

 Inner automorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By associating the element a in G with the inner automorphism f in Inn(G) as above, one obtains an isomorphism between the factor group G/Z(G) (where Z(G) is the center of G) and Inn(G).
At the opposite end of the spectrum, it is possible that the inner automorphisms exhaust the entire automorphism group---a group whose automorphisms are all inner is called complete.
The notion of inner automorphism for Lie algebras is compatible with the notion for groups in the sense that an inner automorphism of a Lie group induces a unique inner automorphism of the corresponding Lie algebra.

Secondly, an arbitrary group of automorphisms A of G may be created by giving a set of generators for A defined in terms of their action on a set of generators for G. AutomorphismGroup(G): Grp -> GrpAuto
When G is a non-soluble permutation or matrix group, the algorithm relies on a database of automorphism groups for the non-cyclic simple factors of G, hence the non-abelian composition factors of G must belong to a restricted list.

 [No title]
The main result states that the group of differentiable automorphisms of a differentiable double loop is compact with respect to the compact-open topology.
It is proved that the automorphism group of a locally compact connected double loop is a locally compact transformation group with respect to the compact-open topology.
In particular, every continuous automorphism of a smooth polygon is smooth, and thus the topological automorphism group of the polygon, endowed with the compact-open topology, is a smooth Lie transformation group.

 The Automorphism Group of an Incidence Structure
The automorphism group A of an incidence structure D is always presented as a permutation group G acting on the standard support.
A cyclic subgroup H of the automorphism group G of the incidence structure D. The purpose of this function is to terminate the search for automorphisms of D as soon as a non--trivial automorphism is found.
As noted at the beginning of the section, the automorphism group G of an incidence structure D is given in its action on the standard support and it does not act directly on D. The action of G on D is obtained using the G--set mechanism.

We describe the normal subgroup lattice of the automorphism groups of the countable universal homogeneous distributive lattice and of the countable atomless generalized Boolean lattice.
For both finite and infinite chain cases the simple automorphism groups split into two classes: those where there is a bound (<12) on the number of conjugates required to express one non-identity element in terms of another, and those in which there is no such bound.
It is shown that the automorphism group has a smallest non-trivial normal subgroup, a largest proper normal subgroup, and at least $2^2^\omega$ normal subgroups between these two.

The group of all automorphisms of f is denoted by Aut(f).
A syntactic automorphism is a permutation of the literals appearing in p, which preserves the syntactic structure (so, swapping two clauses counts as an automorphism).

Thus 'automorphism' is the psychology of projecting one's own qualities, emotions, values or culture onto other people.
And 'ethnomorphism' is the psychology of projecting the characteristics and values of one's own ethnic group onto other ethnic groups.
More dangerously, automorphism can result in the inability to comprehend and acknowledge in others what is commonly known as 'evil' except, perhaps, in hindsight.

 Fraunhofer ITWM: Automorphism Groups of Hyperelliptic Function Fields
In the project "Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography" researchers at Fraunhofer ITWM developed an efficient method to compute the automorphism group* of an arbitrary hyperelliptic function field*.
The Jacobians* of hyperelliptic function fields* have been suggested by Nean Koblitz in 1988 as groups* for cryptographic purposes, because the computation of the discrete logarithm* is believed to be hard in this kind of groups.
A large number of examples of automorphism groups of hyperelliptic function fields is available here (ZIP-file, 601k, uncompressed size: 5.9M).
