Abstract
We show that a continuous one-parameter group {α t } of automorphisms of a separableC*-algebraA satisfies a spectrum condition if and only if it is the limit, pointwise onA, uniformly on compact subsets of IR of a sequence of inner automorphism groups whose positive generators do not increase too fast. Moreover we prove in this case that if π is a surjective morphism of a separableC*-algebraB onA then there is a similar group\(\{ \bar \alpha _t \} \) of automorphisms ofB such that\(\pi \circ \bar \alpha _t = \alpha _t \circ \pi \) for allt.
