A group $G$ whose centre is trivial (that is, $G$ is a so-called group without centre) and for which all automorphisms are inner (see Inner automorphism). The automorphism group of a complete group $G$ is isomorphic to $G$ itself (the term "complete" is related to this property). Examples of complete groups are the symmetric groups $S_n$ when $N \ne 2,6$. If a group $G$ contains a normal subgroup $B$ which is complete, then $G$ decomposes into a direct product $B \times K$ of the subgroup $B$ and its centralizer $K$ in $G$; indeed $K$ is isomorphic to the quotient group $G/B$.
Comment
In topological group theory, a complete group may refer to a group that is a complete uniform space with respect to the uniformity implied by the topological group structure.
