The group of automorphisms of an elementary-abelian-over-cyclic regular wreath product \(p\)-group. (English) Zbl 1472.20047

Summary: Let \(W\) denote the regular wreath product finite group \(C \wr E\) where \(C\) is a cyclic \(p\)-group and \(E\) is an elementary abelian \(p\)-group. Let \(A\) denote the subgroup of \(\operatorname{Aut}(W)\) consisting of those automorphisms that act trivially on \(W/B\), where \(B\) is the base group. We determine \(A\) by describing where each of its elements map a certain generating set for \(W\). We find that \(A\) is as large as possible in a certain sense. We determine some information about the subgroup structure of \(A\), and we prove that every class-preserving automorphism of \(W\) is an inner automorphism of \(W\).
