We consider the capability of $p$ groups of class two and odd prime exponent. We use linear algebra and counting arguments to establish a number of new results. In particular, we settle the 4-generator case, and prove a sufficient condition based on the ranks of $G/Z(G)$ and $[G,G]$.

This note collects several results on the capability of $p$-groups of class two and prime exponent. Among the new results, we settle the 4-generator case for this class.
We show that if $G$ is any $p$-group of class at most two and exponent $p$, then there exist groups $G_1$ and $G_2$ of class two and exponent $p$ that contain $G$, neither of which can be expressed as a central product, and with $G_1$ capable and $G_2$ not capable. We provide upper bounds for ${\rm rank}(G_i^{\rm ab})$ in terms of ${\rm rank}(G^{\rm ab})$ in each case.
A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of finite groups of class two and exponent $p$, $p$ an odd prime. We restate the problem of capability as a problem about linear transformations, which may be checked explicitly for any specific instance of the problem. We use this restatement to derive some known results, and prove new ones. Among them, we reduce the general problem to an oft-considered special case, and prove that a 3-generated group of class 2 and exponent $p$ is either cyclic or capable.
We consider the capability of $p$-groups of class two and odd prime exponent. The question of capability is shown to be equivalent to a statement about vector spaces and linear transformations, and using the equivalence we give proofs of some old results and several new ones. In particular, we establish a number of new necessary and new sufficient conditions for capability, including a sufficient condition based only on the ranks of $G/Z(G)$ and $[G,G]$. Finally, we characterise the capable groups among the 5-generated groups in this class.
We give a complete list of all the 70 class two groups of exponent p (p>2) and order p^k for k<9. For each of these groups the number of conjugacy classes is a polynomial in p, and the order of the automorphism group is a polynomial in p. In contrast, Marcus du Sautoy and Michael Vaughan-Lee have given an example of a class two group of exponent p and order p^9 for which neither the number of conjugacy classes, nor the order of the automorphism group is polynomial on residue classes (PORC).
A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. For each prime $p$ and positive integer $c$, we prove the existence of a capable $p$-group of class $c$ minimally generated by an element of order $p$ and an element of order $p^{1+\lfloor\frac{c-1}{p-1}\rfloor}$. This is best possible.
A note on Frobenius quotient for prime-power divisor of the exponent of finite groups
本文研究有限群指数素幂因子对应的Frobenius商，并给出最大Frobenius商不超过群阶最小素因子的有限群的完全分类。
Let $p$ be a prime number and $\mathbb{Z}_p=\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$. We study finite groups with abelian derived subgroup and exponent $p$ in terms of group extension data and their matrix presentations. We show a one-to-one correspondence between the following two sets: (i) the isoclasses of class 2 groups of exponent $p$ and order $p^{m+n}$ and with derived subgroup $\mathbb{Z}_p^n$, and (ii) the set $\text{Gr}(n,\text{AS}_m(\mathbb{Z}_p))/\text{GL}_m(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ of orbits of $\text{Gr}(n,\text{AS}_m(\mathbb{Z}_p))$ under the congruence action by $\text{GL}_m(\mathbb{Z}_p)$, where $\text{…
An equation over a group with one unknown is called regular if the exponent sum of the unknown is nonzero. In this paper we prove that some regular equations of exponent $rp^s$, where $r \in \mathbb{Z}$, $s \in \mathbb{N}$, $\gcd(r,p)=1$, over the group UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ ($n \geq 2$) are solvable in an overgroup isomorphic to UT$_{(n-1)p^s + 1}(\mathbb{F}_p)$. Applying this for $n=3$ we prove that any regular equation of exponent $rp^s$ over the Heisenberg $p$-group UT$_3(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is solvable in an overgroup isomorphic to UT$_{2p^s + 1}(\mathbb{F}_p)$. The proofs of these results are …
Although any finite Bol loop of odd prime exponent is solvable, we show there exist such Bol loops with trivial center. We also construct finitely generated, infinite, simple Bruck loops of odd prime exponent for sufficiently large primes. This shows that the Burnside problem for Bruck loops has a negative answer.
A group is said to be capable if it is the central factor of some group. In this paper, among other results we have characterized capable groups of order $p^2q$, for any distinct primes $p, q$, which extends Theorem 1.2 of S. Rashid, N. H. Sarmin, A. Erfanian, and N. M. Mohd Ali, {\em On the non abelian tensor square and capability of groups of order $p^2q$}, Arch. Math., \textbf{97} (2011), 299--306. We have also computed the number of distinct element centralizers of a group (finite or infinite) with central factor of order $p^3$, which extends Proposition 2.10 of S. M. Jafarian Amiri, H. Ma…
Modular Functions and the Monstrous Exponents
本文通过模函数方法解释怪物有限简单群阶的素数分解中的指数问题。
We study the free metabelian group $M(2,n)$ of prime power exponent $n$ on two generators by means of invariants $M(2,n)'\to \mathbb{Z}_n$ that we construct from colorings of the squares in the integer grid $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{Z} \cup \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{R}$. In particular we improve bounds found by M.F. Newman for the order of $M(2,2^k)$. We study identities in $M(2,n)$, which give information about identities in the Burnside group $B(2,n)$ and the restricted Burnside group $R(2,n)$.
