Automorphisms of p-compact groups and their root data

Andersen, Kasper LU orcid and Grodal, Jesper (2008) In Geometry and Topology 12(3). p.1427-1460
Abstract
We construct a model for the space of automorphisms of a connected

p-compact group in terms of the space of automorphisms of its maximal torus normalizer and its root datum. As a consequence we show that any homomorphism to the outer automorphism group of a p–compact group can be lifted to a group action, analogous to a classical theorem of de Siebenthal for compact Lie groups. The model of this paper is used in a crucial way in our paper [2], where we prove the conjectured classification of 2–compact groups and determine their automorphism spaces.
