Abstract: | Let be a finite field extension and let us consider the automorphism scheme . We prove that is a complete -group, i.e., it has trivial centre and any automorphism is inner, except for separable extensions of degree 2 or 6. As a consequence, we obtain for finite field extensions of , not being separable of degree 2 or 6, the following equivalence: ![\begin{equation*}K_1\simeq K_2 \Leftrightarrow Aut_kK_1\simeq Aut_kK_2.\end{equation*}](http://www.ams.org/tran/2000-352-02/S0002-9947-99-02361-2/gif-abstract/img10.gif)
