Two Important Classes of p-groups and the Orders of Their Automorphism Groups

In the paper we obtain two infinite classes of p-groups, calculate the orders of their automorphism groups and correct a mistake（perhaps misprinted） of Rodney James＇ paper in 1980.

FINITE p-GROUPS WHICH CONTAIN A SELF-CENTRALIZING CYCLIC NORMAL SUBGROUP

For any prime p, all finite noncyclic p-groups which contain a self-centralizing cyclic normal subgroup are determined by using cohomological techniques. Some applications are given, including a character theoretic description for such groups.

On the Structure of the Augmentation Quotient Group for Some Non-abelian p-groups

In this paper, we study the basis of augmentation ideals and the quotient groups of finite non-abelian p-group which has a cyclic subgroup of index p, where p is an odd prime, and k is greater than or equal to 3. A concrete basis for the augmentation ideal is obtained and then the structure of its quotient groups can be determined.

Factorization Numbers of a Class of Finite p-groups

Let p be a prime number and f_2(G) be the number of factorizations G = AB of the group G, where A, B are subgroups of G. Let G be a class of finite p-groups as follows,G = a, b | a^(p^n)= b^(p^m)= 1, a^b= a^(p^(n-1)+1), where n > m ≥ 1. In this article, the factorization number f_2(G) of G is computed, improving the results of Saeedi and Farrokhi in [5].

On the Factorization Numbers of a Class of Finite p-Groups

Let G be a group and A and B be subgroups of G.If G=AB,then G is said to be factorized by A and B.Let p be a prime number.The factorization numbers of a 2-generators abelian p-group and a modular p-group have been determined.Further,suppose that G is a finite p-group as follows G=<a,b|a^(p)^(n)=b^(p)^(m)=1,a^(b)=a^(p^(n-1)+1)>,where n≥2,m≥1.In this paper,the factorization number of G is computed completely,which is a generalization of the result of Saeedi and Farrokhi.

Finite p-Groups all of Whose Maximal Subgroups Either are Metacyclic or Have a Derived Subgroup of Order ≤ p

The groups as mentioned in the title are classified up to isomorphism. This is an answer to a question proposed by Berkovich and Janko.

Finite p-groups with abelian maximal subgroups generated by two elements

Assume that G is a finite non-abelian p-group.If G has an abelian maximal subgroup whose number of Generators is at least n,then G is called an M_(n)-group.For p=2,M_(2)-groups have been classified.For odd prime p,this paper provides the isomorphism classification of M_(2)-groups,thereby achieving a complete classification of M_(2)-groups.

Finite p-Groups in Which the Number of Subgroups of Possible Order Is Less Than or Equal to p^3

In this paper, groups of order p^n in which the number of subgroups of possible order is less than or equal to p3 ale classified. It turns out that if p 〉 2, n≥ 5, then the classification of groups of order p^n in which the number of subgroups of possible order is less than or equal to p3 and the classification of groups of order p^n with a cyclic subgroup of index p2 are the same.

Finite p-Groups all of Whose Subgroups of Index p^(3) are Abelian

Suppose that G is a finite p-group.If all subgroups of index p^(t)of G are abelian and at least one subgroup of index p^(t−1)of G is not abelian,then G is called an A_(t)-group.We useA0-group to denote an abelian group.From the definition,we know every finite non-abelian p-group can be regarded as an A_(t)-group for some positive integer t.A_(1)-groups and A_(2)-groups have been classified.Classifying A_(3)-groups is an old problem.In this paper,some general properties about A_(t)-groups are given.A_(3)-groups are completely classified up to isomorphism.Moreover,we determine the Frattini subgroup,the derived subgroup and the center of every A_(3)-group,and give the number of A_(1)-subgroups and the triple(μ_(0),μ_(1),μ_(2))of every A_(3)-group,whereμi denotes the number of A_(i)-subgroups of index p of A_(3)-groups.

Finite p-groups whose non-normal subgroups have few orders

Suppose that G is a finite p-group. If G is not a Dedekind group, then G has a non-normal subgroup. We use p^M（G） and p^m（G） to denote the maximum and minimum of the orders of the non-normal subgroups of G, respectively. In this paper, we classify groups G such that M（G） 〈 2m（G） ^- 1. As a by-product, we also classify p-groups whose orders of non-normal subgroups are p^k and p^k＋1.

A classification of some regular p-groups and its applications

In this paper we classify regular p-groups with type invariants (e, 1, 1, 1) for e ≥ 2 and (1, 1, 1, 1, 1). As a by-product, we give a new approach to the classification of groups of order p5, p ≥ 5 a prime.

Finite p-groups with a minimal non-abelian subgroup of index p(Ⅱ)

We classify completely three-generator finite p-groups G such that Ф(G)≤Z(G)and|G′|≤p2.This paper is a part of the classification of finite p-groups with a minimal non-abelian subgroup of index p,and solve partly a problem proposed by Berkovich.

Finite p-Groups Whose Abelian Subgroups Have a Trivial Intersection

A subgroup H of a finite group G is called a TI-subgroup if H ∩ H^x = 1 or H for all x ∈ G. In this paper, a complete classification for finite p-groups, in which all abelian subgroups are TI-subgroups, is given.

Finite p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups are metacyclic

For an odd prime p,we give a criterion for finite p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups are metacyclic,and based on the criterion,the p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups are metacyclic are classified up to isomorphism.This solves a problem proposed by Berkovich.

Finite p-Groups with a Class of Complemented Normal Subgroups

Assume G is a finite group and H a subgroup of G. If there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K = 1, then K is said to be a complement to H in G. A finite p-group G is called an NC-group if all its proper normal subgroups not contained in de（G） have complements. In this paper, some properties of NC-groups are investigated and some classes of NC-groups are classified. Keywords Finite p-groups, normal subgroups, subgroup complement

Finite p-groups All of Whose Minimal Nonabelian Subgroups are Nonmetacyclic of Order p^3

Assume p is an odd prime. We investigate finite p-groups all of whose minimal nonabelian subgroups are of order p^3. Let P1-groups denote the p-groups all of whose minimal nonabelian subgroups are nonme tacyclic of order p^3. In this paper, the P1-groups are classified, and as a by-product, we prove the Hughes' conjecture is true for the P1-groups.

Finite p-Groups Whose Subgroups of Given Order are Isomorphic and Minimal Non-abelian

Finite p-groups whose subgroups of given order are isomorphic and minimal non-abelian are classified. In addition, two results on a chain condition of At-groups are improved.

Finite p-Groups with Few Non-major k-Maximal Subgroups

A subgroup of index p^k of a finite p-group G is called a k-maximal subgroup of G.Denote by d(G) the number of elements in a minimal generator-system of G and by δ_k(G) the number of k-maximal subgroups which do not contain the Frattini subgroup of G.In this paper,the authors classify the finite p-groups with δ_(d(G))(G) ≤ p^2 and δ_(d(G)-1)(G) = 0,respectively.

Some unsolvable conjectures in finite p-groups

We survey some unsolvable conjectures in finite p-groups and their research progress.

Finite p-Groups Whose Number of Subgroups of Each Order Is at most p^4

Assume G is a group of order p^n,where p is an odd prime.Let sk(G)denote the number of subgroups of order p^k of G.We give a criterion for a p-group to be with sk(G)≤p^4 for each integer k satisfying 1≤k≤n.Moreover,such p-groups are classified.
