Largest possible order of a nilpotent permutation group?

The paper of Vdovin mentioned by Steve shows that the nilpotent subgroups of the symmetric groups of maximal order are either the Sylow 2-subgroups P(n) of Sym(n), or P(n-3) x Alt(3) when n = 2(2k+1) …

Are higher dimensional Heisenberg groups free nilpotent?

The higher dimensional Heisenberg groups are the matrix groups G(V,R,f) = { [ 1, x, z ; 0, 1, y ; 0, 0, 1] : x,y in V, z in R } where V is an R-module, R is a ring, and f is an alternating R-bilinear …
