Finite p-groups

Groups of prime-power order: composition series, Frattini subgroups and Φ-extensions, special, powerful, metacyclic and Camina p-groups, conjugacy class sizes of p-groups, generalized quaternion groups, coclass and rank analogues, derived length bounds, and orders of automorphism groups of p-groups only when the p-group structure is the point.

DefinitionGeneralized quaternion group#✓fully proved

A group \(P\) is a generalized quaternion group if, for some natural number \(k \ge 1\), it is isomorphic to the quaternion group \(Q_{2^{k+2}} = \langle a, x \mid a^{2^{k+1}} = 1,\ x^2 = a^{2^k},\ x^{-1} a x = a^{-1} \rangle\) of order \(2^{k+2}\). Thus \(P\) has order \(8\), \(16\), \(32\) or some larger power of \(2\).
