THE NILPOTENCY CLASS OF FINITE GROUPS OF EXPONENT p

نویسنده

  • MICHAEL VAUGHAN-LEE
چکیده

We investigate the properties of Lie algebras of characteristic p which satisfy the Engel identity xy" = 0 for some n < p. We establish a criterion which (when satisfied) implies that if a and b are elements of an Engel-n Lie algebra L then abn~2 generates a nilpotent ideal of I. We show that this criterion is satisfied for n = 6, p = 1, and we deduce that if G is a finite m-generator group of exponent 7 then G is nilpotent of class at most 51m8 .

COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS ON FINITE P-GROUPS OF EXPONENT P2

The Fibonacci lengths of the finite p-groups have been studied by R. Dikici and co-authors since 1992. All of the considered groups are of exponent p, and the lengths depend on the celebrated Wall number k(p). The study of p-groups of nilpotency class 3 and exponent p has been done in 2004 by R. Dikici as well. In this paper we study all of the p-groups of nilpotency class 3 and exponent p2. Th...

On 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...

On the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups

The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...

On the nilpotency class of the automorphism group of some finite p-groups

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

nth-roots and n-centrality of finite 2-generator p-groups of nilpotency class 2

Here we consider all finite non-abelian 2-generator $p$-groups ($p$ an odd prime) of nilpotency class two and study the probability of having $n^{th}$-roots of them. Also we find integers $n$ for which, these groups are $n$-central.

On rational groups with Sylow 2-subgroups of nilpotency class at most 2

A finite group $G$ is called rational if all its irreducible complex characters are rational valued. In this paper we discuss about rational groups with Sylow 2-subgroups of nilpotency class at most 2 by imposing the solvability and nonsolvability assumption on $G$ and also via nilpotency and nonnilpotency assumption of $G$.
