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.

The Automorphism Group of a p-Group of Order p^n with an Element of Order p^(n-2)

A finite p-group G is called an LA-group if |G|||Aut(G)| when G is non-cyclic and |G|>p^2. This paper shows that a p-group of order p^n with an element of order p^(n-2) is an LA-group.

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 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.

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 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.

On Non-commuting Sets in a Finite p-group with Derived Subgroup of Prime Order

Let G be a finite group. A nonempty subset X of G is said to be noncommuting if xy≠yx for any x, y ∈ X with x≠y. If ｜X｜ ≥ ｜Y｜ for any other non-commuting set Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal non-commuting set. In this paper, we determine upper and lower bounds on the cardinality of a maximal non-commuting set in a finite p-group with derived subgroup of prime order.

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.

The Orders of Automorphism Group of p^6 Rank Groups

In this paper, we determine the order of automorphism group of p-groups in the third family ( Φ 3) and the fourth family ( Φ 4) in [1], whose order is p^6(p≥3). Here p denotes an odd prime.

The Orders of the Automorphism Groups of all Groups of Order p^5

In this paper by techniques of group we give some formulae for solving the general quadratic equations of two variables over a finite field,completely calculate and uniformly deal with the orders of automorphism groups of all p-groups of orders less than p6 under the P Hall's concept of isoclinism,also make a number of corrections for orders of automorphism groups offered for a mistake or fault before.

Uniquely Strongly Clean Group Rings

A ring R is called clean if every element is the sum of an idempotent and a unit, and R is called uniquely strongly clean （USC for short） if every element is uniquely the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commute. In this article, some conditions on a ring R and a group G such that RG is clean are given. It is also shown that if G is a locally finite group, then the group ring RG is USC if and only if R is USC, and G is a 2-group. The left uniquely exchange group ring, as a middle ring of the uniquely clean ring and the USC ring, does not possess this property, and so does the uniquely exchange group ring.

Orders of Automorphism Groups of the p^6 Groups of Family Φ_(24)

Using the metabelian property, regularity, p-commutativity and some properties of congruence, this paper gave the orders of automorphism groups of family Ф24, which are the groups of order p^6 determined by Rodney James, where p denotes an odd prime.

Periodic Bifurcations in Descendant Trees of Finite <i>p</i>-Groups

Theoretical background and an implementation of the p-group generation algorithm by Newman and O’Brien are used to provide computational evidence of a new type of periodically repeating patterns in pruned descendant trees of finite p-groups.

The Transfer Ideal under the Action of a Nonmetacyclic Group in the Modular Case

Let Fq be a finite field of characteristic p (p ≠2) and V4 a four-dimensional Fq-vector space. In this paper, we mainly determine the structure of the transfer ideal for the ring of polynomials Fq[V4] under the action of a nonmetacyclic p-group P in the modular case. We prove that the height of the transfer ideal is 1 using the fixed point sets of the elements of order p in P and that the transfer ideal is a principal ideal.

Periodic Sequences of p-Class Tower Groups

Recent examples of periodic bifurcations in descendant trees of finite p-groups with ?are used to show that the possible p-class tower groups G of certain multiquadratic fields K with p- class group of type (2,2,2) , resp. (3,3), form periodic sequences in the descendant tree of the elementary Abelian root , resp. . The particular vertex of the periodic sequence which occurs as the p-class tower group G of an assigned field K is determined uniquely by the p-class number of a quadratic, resp. cubic, auxiliary field k, associated unambiguously to K. Consequently, the hard problem of identifying the p-class tower group G is reduced to an easy computation of low degree arithmetical invariants.

The K_2-groups over Finaite Commutative Rings

The present note determines the structure of the K2-group and of its subgroup over a finite commutative ring R by considering relations between R andfinite commutative local ring Ri (1 < i < m), where R Ri and K2(R) =K2(Ri). We show that if charKi= p (Ki denotes the residual field of Ri), then K2(Ri) and its subgroups must be p-groups.

Co-Periodicity Isomorphisms between Forests of Finite <I>p</I>-Groups

Based on a general theory of descendant trees of finite p-groups and the virtual periodicity isomorphisms between the branches of a coclass subtree, the behavior of algebraic invariants of the tree vertices and their automorphism groups under these isomorphisms is described with simple transformation laws. For the tree of finite 3-groups with elementary bicyclic commutator qu-otient, the information content of each coclass subtree with metabelian main-line is shown to be finite. As a striking novelty in this paper, evidence is provided of co-periodicity isomorphisms between coclass forests which reduce the information content of the entire metabelian skeleton and a significant part of non-metabelian vertices to a finite amount of data.

Deep Transfers of p-Class Tower Groups

Let p be a prime. For any finite p-group G, the deep transfers T H,G ' : H / H ' → G ' / G " from the maximal subgroups H of index (G:H) = p in G to the derived subgroup G ' are introduced as an innovative tool for identifying G uniquely by means of the family of kernels ùd(G) =(ker(T H,G ')) (G: H) = p. For all finite 3-groups G of coclass cc(G) = 1, the family ùd(G) is determined explicitly. The results are applied to the Galois groups G =Gal(F3 (∞)/ F) of the Hilbert 3-class towers of all real quadratic fields F = Q(√d) with fundamental discriminants d > 1, 3-class group Cl3(F) □ C3 × C3, and total 3-principalization in each of their four unramified cyclic cubic extensions E/F. A systematic statistical evaluation is given for the complete range 1 d 7, and a few exceptional cases are pointed out for 1 d 8.
