Higman’s PORC conjecture for a family of groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that the number of groups of order p whose Frattini subgroup is central is for fixed n a PORC (‘polynomial on residue classes’) function of p. This extends a result of G. Higman.

ZETA 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 کاملFuchsian groups, coverings of Riemann surfaces, subgroup growth, random quotients and random walks
Fuchsian groups (acting as isometries of the hyperbolic plane) occur naturally in geometry, combinatorial group theory, and other contexts. We use character-theoretic and probabilistic methods to study the spaces of homomorphisms from Fuchsian groups to symmetric groups. We obtain a wide variety of applications, ranging from counting branched coverings of Riemann surfaces, to subgroup growth an...
متن کاملOn Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...
متن کاملThe evolutionarily conserved porcupine gene family is involved in the processing of the Wnt family.
The Drosophila segment polarity gene product Porcupine (Porc) was first identified as being necessary for processing Wingless (Wg), a Drosophila Wnt (Wnt) family member. Mouse and Xenopus homologs of porc (Mporc and Xporc) were identified and found to encode endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins with multiple transmembrane domains. In contrast with porc, four different types of Mporc and Xporc mR...
متن کاملOn a conjecture of a bound for the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a finite $p$-group
Let $G$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(G)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. We show that $exp(M^{(c)}(G))$ divides $exp(G)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $M^{(c)}(G)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $G$. This implies that $exp( M(G))$ divides $exp(G)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. Moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...
