Prove that there is precisely one group with 30 elements and 8 automorphisms.
Proposed by Gabriel Dospinescu.
Solution:
Let G be a group such that |G|=30 and |\textrm{Aut}(G)|=8. Since \textrm{Inn}(G) is a subgroup of \textrm{Aut}(G) and G/Z(G) \simeq \textrm{Inn}(G), then by Lagrange's Theorem |\textrm{Inn}(G)| divides |G| (Z(G) is a normal subgroup of G) and |\textrm{Aut}(G)|, so |\textrm{Inn}(G)|=1,2. In any case \textrm{Inn}(G) is isomorphic to a cyclic group, so G/Z(G) is isomorphic to a cyclic group and so G is abelian. By the Fundamental Theorem of Finitely Generated Abelian Groups, there is only one abelian group of order 30 and this is \mathbb{Z}_{30}.
