Abstract Let 𝐺 be a bounded abelian 𝑝-group, with automorphism group Aut ⁡ ( G ) \operatorname{Aut}(G) . Whenever 𝐺 satisfies certain conditions, we determine the upper central series and nilpotency class of the maximal normal 𝑝-subgroup of Aut ⁡ ( G ) \operatorname{Aut}(G) .

AbstractIn this paper, we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful p-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group, one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the notion of a powerful coclass and classification in terms of an ancestry tree. In this paper, we will give a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2. The classification will then be used to arrive at a precise formula for the number of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2 and order {p^{n}}. We will also give a detailed analysis of the ancestry tree for these groups. The second part of the paper is then devoted to a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of order up to {p^{6}}.

Let G be a group with a normal subgroup H whose index is a power of a prime p, and which is nilpotent with exponent a power of p. Gilbert Baumslag (Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 55 (1959), 224–231) has shown that such a group is nilpotent; the main result of this paper is an upper bound on its nilpotency class in terms of parameters of H and G/H. It is shown that this bound is attained whenever G is a wreath product and H its base group.A descending central series, here called the cpp-series, is involved in these calculations more closely than is the lower central series, and the class of the wreath product in terms of this series is also found.Two tools used to obtain the main result, namely a useful basis for a finite p-group and a result about the augmentation ideal of the integer group ring of a finite p-group, may have some independent interest. The main result is applied to the construction of some two-generator groups of large nilpotency class with exponents 8, 9, and 25.

In this paper we consider the group of symmetries of the Sulphur molecule (S8 ) which is a finite point group of order 16 denote by D16 generated by two elements having the presentation { u\upsilon/u2= \upsilon8 = (u\upsilon)2 = 1} and find the complete set of genera (g ≥ 2) of Compact Riemann surfaces on which D16 acts as a group of automorphisms as follows: D16 the group of symmetries of the sulphur (S8) molecule of order 16 acts as an automorphism group of a compact Riemann surfaces of genus g ≥ 2 if and only if there are integers \lambda and \mu such that \lambda \leq 1 and \mu \geq 1 and g=\lambda +8\mu (\geq2) , \mu\geq |\lambda|

Orientable Surfaces

Using the definition of a Riemann surface, as given for example by Ahlfors and Sario, one can prove that all Riemann surfaces are orientable. However by modifying their definition one can obtain structures on non-orientable surfaces. In fact nonorientable Riemann surfaces have been considered by Klein and Teichmüller amongst others. The problem we consider here is to look for the largest possible groups of automorphisms of compact non-orientable Riemann surfaces and we find that this throws light on the corresponding problem for orientable Riemann surfaces, which was first considered by Hurwitz [1]. He showed that the order of a group of automorphisms of a compact orientable Riemann surface of genus g cannot be bigger than 84(g – 1). This bound he knew to be attained because Klein had exhibited a surface of genus 3 which admitted PSL (2, 7) as its automorphism group, and the order of PSL(2, 7) is 168 = 84(3–1). More recently Macbeath [5, 3] and Lehner and Newman [2] have found infinite families of compact orientable surfaces for which the Hurwitz bound is attained, and in this paper we shall exhibit some new families.

Let KG be the group algebra of a group G over a field K of positive characteristic p, and let 𝔇(n)(G) and 𝔇[n](G) denote the n-th upper Lie dimension subgroup and the n-th lower one, respectively. In [1] and [12], the equality 𝔇(n)(G) =𝔇[n](G) is verified when p ≥ 5. Motivated by [16, Problem 55], in the present paper we establish it for particular classes of groups when p ≤ 3. Finally, we introduce and study a new central series of G linked with the Lie nilpotency class of KG.

We prove that the automorphism group Aut (m,p,n) of an imprimitive complex reflection group G(m,p,n) is the product of a normal subgroup T(m,p,n) by a subgroup R(m,p,n), where R(m,p,n) is the group of automorphisms that preserve reflections and T(m,p,n) consists of automorphisms that map every element of G(m,p,n) to a scalar multiple of itself.

Number Of Generators

If B is a group of prime-power exponent p e and solubility class 2, then B has nilpotency class at most e ( p e — p e-1 )+1 provided the number of generators of B are at most p +1. Representa­tions of B are constructed which in the case of two generators and prime exponent is a faithful representation of the free group of the variety under study and for prime-power exponent show the existence of a group with nilpotency class e ( p e — p e-1 ). In the general situation where B as above has exponent n , and n is not a prime-power, the place where the lower central series of G becomes stationary is determined by a knowledge of the nilpotency class of the groups of prime-power exponent for all prime divisors of n . The bound e ( p e — p e-1 )+1 on the nilpotency class is a consequence of the following: Let G be a direct product of at most p —1 cyclic groups of order p e and R the group ring of G over the integers modulo p e . Then the e ( p e — p e-1 ) th power of the augmentation ideal of R is contained in the ideal of R generated by all 'cyclotomic’ polynomials Ʃ p e -1 i = 0 g i for all g in G . If G is a direct product of more than p +1 cyclic groups, then this result is no longer true unless e = 1.

Let Fn be a free group of rank n and let Out Fn be its outer automorphism group. The main result of this paper is that Out F3 has a faithful representation as a group of automorphisms of the polynomial ring in seven variables over the integers. This extends a similar result for n = 2 (see Helling [3], Horowitz [5] and Rosenberger [12]), and provides a partial answer to a conjecture attributed in [5] to W. Magnus. As an application of the special nature of the representing polynomials, we obtain our second result, that Out F3 is virtually residually torsion-free nilpotent.

Edge Transitive

A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group $H$ if it admits $H$ as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. For a prime $p$, we call a bi-Cayley graph over a metacyclic $p$-group a bi-$p$-metacirculant. In this paper, the automorphism group of a connected cubic edge-transitive bi-$p$-metacirculant is characterized for an odd prime $p$, and the result reveals that a connected cubic edge-transitive bi-$p$-metacirculant exists only when $p=3$. Using this, a classification is given of connected cubic edge-transitive bi-Cayley graphs over an inner-abelian metacyclic $3$-group. As a result, we construct the first known infinite family of cubic semisymmetric graphs of order twice a $3$-power.
