Groups $P$ of order $p^5$ with $\Omega_1(P)=P$

I have been working with (particular) groups $P$ of order $p^5$. In fact, the ones that interest me the most are those that satisfy $$\langle x\in P\mid x^p=1\rangle=:\Omega_1(P)=P.$$ After a search ...

Structure/description of a finitely presented group

I am unable to see the structure of the following finitely presented group. $$\langle a,b,c,d : [a,b]=c=a^p,\ [c,b]=c^p=d^p,\ b^{p^2}=c^{p^2}=1 \rangle$$ I have tried in GAP, but it is not showing any ...

On isoclinism classes of finite p-groups

With reference to James, Rodney, The groups of order (p^6) ((p) an odd prime)., Math. Comput. 34, 613-637 (1980). ZBL0428.20013., My question is can we get isoclinism class $\phi_2$ for a finite p-...

When is the following preorder on the set of central elements of order 2 a total preorder?

Let $G$ be a finite 2-group. Denote by $S$ the set of central elements of $G$ of order exactly $2$. The relation $a\leq b$ iff there is an endomorphism of $G$ sending $b$ to $a$ defines a preorder on $...

Number of conjugacy classes of unit groups of modular group algebras

Let $n$ be a natural number, $p$ a prime number, $G$ a finite $p$-group and $K$ a finite field with $p^n$ elements. We focus on the group $1+J(KG)$, where $J(KG)$ is the Jacobson radical of $KG$, ...

Computing the class-preserving automorphism group of finite $p$-groups

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian $p$-group, where $p$ is a prime. An automorphism $\alpha$ of $G$ is called a class-preserving if for each $x\in G$, there exists an element $g_x\in G$ such that $\alpha(...

about a strange property of p-groups of maximal class

I am trying to look for a finite $p$-group of maximal class of order at least $p^{2p+1}$ exponent at least $p^3$ which possibly has the following property : If s is an element in $G-G_1$ ($G_1$ is ...

Conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of a finite $p$-group

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of derived length $d$ and nilpotency class $c$. Suppose that $G$ is not a Dedekind group (i.e., possesses at least one non-normal subgroup). Suppose that $G^{(d-1)}$ has ...

Dense free subgroups

Let $F$ be a free pro-$p$ group (for a prime number $p$) on a finite set $X$, $\Phi$ the abstract subgroup generated by $X$, $\{1\} \neq N \lhd_c F$. Is it possible that $\Phi \cap N = \{1\}$?
