Abstract

Let GG be a Camina pp-group of nilpotence class 33. We prove that if G<CG(G)G' < C_G (G'), then Z(G)G:G31/2|Z(G)| \le |G':G_3|^{1/2}. We also prove that if G/G3G/G_3 has only one or two abelian subgroups of order G:G|G:G'|, then G<CG(G)G' < C_G (G'). If G/G3G/G_3 has pa+1p^a + 1 abelian subgroups of order G:G|G:G'|, then either G<CG(G)G' < C_G (G') or Z(G)p2a|Z(G)| \le p^{2a}.
