Groups of Prime Power Order. Volume 4

This is the fourth volume of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite p-group theory. As in the previous volumes, minimal nonabelian p-groups play an important role. Topics covered in this volume include:

• subgroup structure of metacyclic p-groups
• Ishikawa’s theorem on p-groups with two sizes of conjugate classes
• p-central p-groups
• theorem of Kegel on nilpotence of H p-groups
• partitions of p-groups
• characterizations of Dedekindian groups
• norm of p-groups
• p-groups with 2-...
