If GG is a group and gGg\in G, then the function ϕg:GG\phi_g:G\to G given by conjugation by gg ϕg(x)=gxg1 \phi_g(x) = gxg^{-1} is an automorphism of GG called an inner automorphism.

The set of inner automorphisms Inn(G)\mathrm{Inn}(G) is a subgroup of Aut(G)\Aut(G), and Inn(G)G/Z(G) \mathrm{Inn}(G) \cong G/Z(G) where Z(G)Z(G) is the center of GG.
