## Problem

An isometric action of a group G on a metric space S is called acylindrical if for every ε > 0 there exist R, N > 0 such that for every two points x, y with d(x, y) ⩾ R, there are at most N elements g ∈ G satisfying d(x, gx) ⩽ ε and d(y, gy) ⩽ ε. A group is said to be acylindrically hyperbolic if it is not virtually cyclic and admits an acylindrical action on a hyperbolic space with unbounded orbits. Is the automorphism group of a finitely generated acylindrically hyperbolic group also acylindrically hyperbolic? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.49\).
