AbstractThe unit group of the modular group algebra of a finite p-group in characteristic p is nilpotent. The p-groups for which it is of nilpotency class 3 were determined in work of Coleman, Passman, Shalev and Mann when p ≥ 3. We resolve the p = 2 case here which completes the classification.

AbstractWe show that p-groups of order p5 are determined by their group algebras over the field of p elements. Many cases have been dealt with in earlier work of ourselves and others. The only case whose details remain to be given here is that of groups of nilpotency class 3 for p odd.

AbstractWe show that p-groups of maximal class and order p5 are determined by their group algebras over the field of p elements. The most important information requisite for the proof is obtained from a detailed study of the unit group of a quotient algebra of the group algebra, larger than the small group algebra.

Let KG be the modular group algebra of a group G over a field K of characteristic p > 0. The classification of group algebras KG with upper Lie nilpotency index tL(KG) greater than or equal to |G′| – 13p + 14 have already been done. In this paper, our aim is to classify the group algebras KG for which tL(KG) = |G′| – 14p + 15.

In this paper, we classify the modular group algebra [Formula: see text] of a group [Formula: see text] over a field [Formula: see text] of characteristic [Formula: see text] having upper Lie nilpotency index [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Group algebras of upper Lie nilpotency index [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], have already been characterized completely.
