Cyclic automorphism group

[happyg1]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Prove that no group can have its automorphism group cyclic of odd order.

2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

Aut(Z2) has order 1, which is odd...trivial, yes, but I thought I was DONE.

However, my professor has said "well prove it EXCEPT for Z2"

I thought I was done, and now I have till 2 to do redo this and I have a mental block on it.

Can someone give my a push?

Thanks,
CC

So you've got to show that every group (except Z/2Z) with cyclic aut. grp. has an automorphism of order 2...

All right, I think I see it now...although I already turned it in incomplete. I just couldn't see it yesterday.
Thanks.
