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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 all of whose proper subgroups have small derived subgroups

Let G be a finite p-group.If the order of the derived subgroup of each proper subgroup of G divides pi,G is called a Di-group.In this paper,we give a characterization of all D1-groups.This is an answer to a question introduced by Berkovich.

Finite p-groups whose nonnormal subgroups have orders at most p^3

We classify finite p-groups all of whose nonnormal subgroups have orders at most p3, p odd prime. Together with a known result, we completely solved Problem 2279 proposed by Y. Berkovich and Z. Janko in Groups of Prime Power Order, Vol. 3.

On Two Classes of Finite Inseparable p-Groups

A finite group is inseparable, it does not split over any proper nontrivial normal subgroup; that is, if it has no nontrivial semidirect product decompositions. This paper investigates two classes of finite inseparable p-groups and, for p ≥ 3, establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for insep- arability.

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.

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 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 maximal abelian subgroups are soft

A subgroup A of a p-group G is said to be soft in G if CG(A) = A and |NG(A)/A| = p. In this paper we determined finite p-groups all of whose maximal abelian subgroups are soft; see Theorem A and Proposition 2.4.

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