Homework Statement
How do I prove that the inner automorphisms is isomorphic to ##S_3##?
The attempt at a solution
I know ##S_3 = \{f: \{ 1,2,3 \}\to\{ 1,2,3 \}\mid f\text{ is a permutation}\}## and I know for every group there is a map whose center is its kernel so the center of of ##S_3## is trivial therefore ##S_3/Z(S_3) = 6##.
So an inner automorphism of a group ##G## is an automorphism of the form ##ρ_g :x↦gxg^{-1}. ## What I am having trouble with is verifying that distinct elements of ##S_3## give distinct inner automorphism. How can I prove this problem directly?
