The isomorphism problem for finite groups of odd order and nilpotency class 2 with cyclic centre will be solved using some results of Brady [1], [2]. Since a finite nilpotent group is the direct product of its Sylow subgroups, we only need to consider finite q-groups where q is a prime. It has been shown in [1] and [2] that a finite q-group of nilpotency class 2 with cyclic centre is a central product either of two-generator subgroups with cyclic centre or of two-generator subgroups with cyclic centre and a cyclic subgroup, and that the q-groups of class 2 on two generators with cyclic centre comprise the following list: , and if q = 2 we have as well .

AbstractLet w be a word in k variables. For a finite nilpotent group G, a conjecture of Amit states that $$N_w(1)\ge |G|^{k-1}$$ N w ( 1 ) ≥ | G | k - 1 , where for $$g\in G$$ g ∈ G , the quantity $$N_w(g)$$ N w ( g ) is the number of k-tuples $$(g_1,\ldots ,g_k)\in G^{(k)}$$ ( g 1 , … , g k ) ∈ G ( k ) such that $$w(g_1,\ldots ,g_k)={g}$$ w ( g 1 , … , g k ) = g . Currently, this conjecture is known to be true for groups of nilpotency class 2. Here we consider a generalized version of Amit’s conjecture, which states that $$N_w(g)\ge |G|^{k-1}$$ N w ( g ) ≥ | G | k - 1 for g a w-value in G, and prove that $$N_w(g)\ge |G|^{k-2}$$ N w ( g ) ≥ | G | k - 2 for finite groups G of odd order and nilpotency class 2. If w is a word in two variables, we further show that the generalized Amit conjecture holds for finite groups G of nilpotency class 2. In addition, we use character theory techniques to confirm the generalized Amit conjecture for finite p-groups (p a prime) with two distinct irreducible character degrees and a particular family of words. Finally, we discuss the related group properties of being rational and chiral, and show that every finite group of nilpotency class 2 is rational.

The [Formula: see text]-closure of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is by definition, [Formula: see text] The group [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-closed on [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text]. We say that a group [Formula: see text] is a totally[Formula: see text]-closed group if [Formula: see text] for any set [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. Here we show that the center of any finite totally 2-closed group is cyclic and a finite nilpotent group is totally 2-closed if and only if it is cyclic or a direct product of a generalized quaternion group with a cyclic group of odd order.

Mennicke (2) has given a class of three-generator, three-relation finite groups. In this paper we present a further class of three-generator, threerelation groups which we show are finite.The groups presented are defined as:with α|γ| ≠ 1, β|γ| ≠ 1, γ ≠ 0.We prove the following result.THEOREM 1. Each of the groups presented is a finite soluble group.We state the following theorem proved by Macdonald (1).THEOREM 2. G1(α, β, 1) is a finite nilpotent group.1. In this section we make some elementary remarks.

The enhanced power graph [Formula: see text] of a group [Formula: see text] is the graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] such that two vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if they are contained in the same cyclic subgroup. We prove that finite groups with isomorphic enhanced power graphs have isomorphic directed power graphs. We show that any isomorphism between undirected power graph of finite groups is an isomorphism between enhanced power graphs of these groups, and we find all finite groups [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is abelian, all finite groups [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] being prime power, and all finite groups [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] being square-free. Also, we describe enhanced power graphs of finite abelian groups. Finally, we give a characterization of finite nilpotent groups whose enhanced power graphs are perfect, and we present a sufficient condition for a finite group to have weakly perfect enhanced power graph.

Ray Class Field

Let Q be the rational number field, K/Q be a maximal Abelian extension whose degree is some power of a prime l, and let f(K) be the conductor of K/Q; if l = 2, let K be complex, and if in addition f(K) ≡ 0 (mod 2), let f(K) ≡ 0 (mod 16). Denote by (K) the Geschlechtermodul of K over Q and by K̂ the maximal central l-extension of K/Q contained in the ray class field mod (K) of K. A. Fröhlich [1, Theorem 4] completely determined the Galois group of K̂ over Q in purely rational terms. The proof is based on [1, Theorem 3], though he did not write the proof in the case f(K) ≡ 0 (mod 16). Moreover he gave a classification theory of all class two extensions over Q whose degree is a power of l. Hence we know the set of fields of nilpotency class two over Q, because a finite nilpotent group is a direct product of all its Sylow subgroups. But the theory becomes cumbersome, and it is desirable to reconstruct a more elementary one.

Special Case

In the course of investigating the structure of finite groups which have a representation in the form ABA, for suitable subgroups A and B, we have been forced to study groups G which admit an automorphism ϕ such that every element of G lies in at least one of the orbits under ϕ of the elements g, gϕr(g), gϕrϕ(g)ϕ2r(g), gϕr(g)ϕr2r(g)ϕ3r(g), etc., where g is a fixed element of G and r is a fixed integer.In a previous paper on ABA-groups written jointly with I. N. Herstein (4), we have treated the special case r = 0 (in which case every element of G can be expressed in the form ϕi(gj)), and have shown that if the orders of ϕ and g are relatively prime, then G is either Abelian or the direct product of an Abelian group of odd order and the quaternion group of order 8.

AbstractWe study an impartial game introduced by Anderson and Harary. The game is played by two players who alternately choose previously-unselected elements of a finite group. The first player who builds a generating set from the jointly-selected elements wins. We determine the nim-numbers of this game for finite groups of the form{T\times H}, whereTis a 2-group andHis a group of odd order. This includes all nilpotent and hence abelian groups.

A finite group G is called a special local 2-nilpotent group if G is not 2-nilpotent, the Sylow 2-subgroup P of G has a section isomorphic to the quaternion group of order 8, [Formula: see text] and NG(P) is 2-nilpotent. In this paper, it is shown that SL2(q), [Formula: see text], is a special local 2-nilpotent group if and only if [Formula: see text], and that GL2(q), [Formula: see text], is a special local 2-nilpotent group if and only if q is odd. Moreover, the solvability of finite groups is also investigated by giving two generalizations of a result from [A note on p-nilpotence and solvability of finite groups, J. Algebra 321 (2009) 1555–1560].

Introduction. In this paper we study the (discrete) group ring Γ of a finitely generated torsion free nilpotent group over a field of characteristic zero. We show that if Δ is the ideal of Γ spanned by all elements of the form G − 1, where G ∈ , thenand the only element belonging to Δw for all w is the zero element (cf. (4.3) below).

1. If P is any property of groups, then we say that a group G is ‘locally P’ if every finitely generated subgroup of G satisfies P. In this paper we shall be chiefly concerned with the case when P is the property of being nilpotent, and will examine some properties of nilpotent groups which also hold for locally nilpotent groups. Examples of locally nilpotent groups are the locally finite p-groups (groups such that every finite subset is contained in a finite group of order a power of the prime p); indeed, every periodic locally nilpotent group is the direct product of locally finite p-groups.
