Let g be a simple Lie algebra. Let Aut(g) be the group of all automorphisms on g, and let Int(g) be its identity component. The outer automorphism group of g is defined as Aut(g)/Int(g). If g is complex and has Dynkin diagram D, then Aut(g)/Int(g) is isomorphic to Aut(D). We provide an analogous result for the real case. For g real, we let g be represented by a painted diagram P. Depending on whether the Cartan involution of g belongs to Int(g), we show that Aut(g)/Int(g) is isomorphic to Aut(P) or Aut(P)×Z2. This result extends to the outer automorphism groups of all real semisimple Lie algebras. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 17B20, 17B40.
