文摘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.
文摘The classification of the reduced Abelian p-groups has been studied: Kaplansky proved that Ulm-Kaplansky invariants characterize the classification of countable groups; Kolettis extended this result to the direct sums of the countable groups; Parker and Walker further extended it to totally projective groups of length less than Ω_W; Hill proved that the greatest class of the p-groups which can be characterized by Ulm-Kaplansky invariants is the class of totally projective p-groups; Warfield have generalized this result to the simple presented modules in 1975.
