A cohomological property of semi-abelian $p$-groups

Group Theory 2014-06-23 v1

Abstract

We prove a cohomological property for a class of finite pp-groups introduced earlier by M. Y. Xu, which we call semi-abelian pp-groups. This result implies that a semi-abelian pp-group has non-inner automorphisms of order pp, which settles a longstanding problem for this class. We answer also, independetly, an old question of M. Y. Xu about the power structure of semi-abelian pp-groups.
