Classifying 2-groups by Coclass
نویسنده
چکیده
Now that the conjectures of Leedham-Green and Newman have been proved, we probe deeper into the classification of p-groups using coclass. We determine the pro-2-groups of coclass at most 3 and use these to classify the 2-groups of coclass at most 3 into families. Using extensive computational evidence, we make some detailed conjectures about the structure of these families. We also conjecture that the 2-groups of arbitrary fixed coclass exhibit similar behaviour.

On the construction of CF pro-p-groups by coclass
The classification of finite p-groups is an often examined area of group theory. In this talk the classification by coclass is investigated for the special class of CF groups. These groups were introduced by Norman Blackburn as a generalisation of groups of maximal class. The coclass-project will be established for background knowledge. It was initialised by Charles Leedham-Green and Mike Newma...
متن کاملPower-commutator Presentations for Infinite Sequences Of
For certain infinite sequences of 3-groups G with derived length 2 ≤ dl(G) ≤ 3, and either with G/G′ ' (3, 3), coclass cc(G) ≥ 1, or with G/G′ ' (9, 3), coclass cc(G) ≥ 3, parametrized pc-presentations are given in dependence on the class c = cl(G).
متن کاملTwo-groups with Few Conjugacy Classes
An old question of Brauer asking how fast numbers of conjugacy classes grow is investigated by considering the least number cn of conjugacy classes in a group of order 2n. The numbers cn are computed for n ≤ 14 and a lower bound is given for c15. It is observed that cn grows very slowly except for occasional large jumps corresponding to an increase in coclass of the minimal groups Gn. Restricti...
متن کاملZETA FUNCTIONS AND COUNTING FINITE p-GROUPS
We announce proofs of a number of theorems concerning finite p-groups and nilpotent groups. These include: (1) the number of p-groups of class c on d generators of order pn satisfies a linear recurrence relation in n; (2) for fixed n the number of p-groups of order pn as one varies p is given by counting points on certain varieties mod p; (3) an asymptotic formula for the number of finite nilpo...
متن کاملThe Orders of Nonsingular Derivations of Lie Algebras of Characteristic Two
Nonsingular derivations of modular Lie algebras which have finite multiplicative order play a role in the coclass theory for pro-p groups and Lie algebras. A study of the set Np of positive integers which occur as orders of nonsingular derivations of finite-dimensional non-nilpotent Lie algebras of characteristic p > 0 was initiated by Shalev and continued by the present author. In this paper w...
