Could someone provide an example of an automorphism?

183 Views Asked by At

I have been trying to find an exampke fo an automorphism of $ℚ$.

I have tried with some simple equations, such as

$$a + n$$

$$n*a$$

$$a^n$$

(being $a$ an element in $ℚ$ and $n$ a constant)

None of the latter examples form an automorphism. There is clearly the identity, but that is kind of trivial.

So I was wondering, could someone provide an example of an automorphism of $ℚ$ besides the identity?


Any help/thoughts would be really appreciated.
