Automorphisms of p-local compact groups

Self equivalences of classifying spaces of p-local compact groups are well understood by means of the algebraic structure that gives rise to them, but explicit descriptions are lacking. In this paper we use Robinson's construction of an amalgam G, realising a given fusion system, to produce a split epimorphism from the outer automorphism group of G to the group of homotopy classes of self homotopy equivalences of the classifying space of the corresponding p-local compact group.
