In this note, we give short proofs of the well-known results that the exponent of the Schur multiplier $\M$ divides the exponent of $\G$ for finite $\p$-groups of maximal class and potent $\p$-groups. Moreover, we prove the same for a…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We describe a method to compute the Schur multiplier of finite $p$-groups $G$ of nilpotency class $2$ such that $G/[G,G]$ is isomorphic to direct product of copies of $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ for $s \in \mathbb{N}$,…

A group G is called special p-group of rank k if the commutator subgroup [G,G] and centre Z(G) are equal, which is elementary abelian p-group of rank k and G/[G,G] is also elementary abelian p-group. In this article we determine the Schur…

In this paper, we find an upper bound for the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a pair $(G,N)$ of finite $p$-groups, when $N$ admits a complement in $G$. As a consequence, we show that the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a pair…

Let $d(G)$ be the minimum number of elements required to generated a group $G.$ For a group $G $ of order $p^n$ with derived subgroup of order $ p^k $ and $d(G) = d,$ we knew the order of the Schur multiplier of $G$ is bounded by $…

A longstanding problem attributed to I. Schur says that for a finite group $G$, the exponent of the second homology group $H_2(G, \mathbb{Z})$ divides the exponent of $G$. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for finite nilpotent groups…

We give a bound on the order of the Schur multiplier of $p$-groups refining earlier bounds. As an application we complete the classification of groups having Schur multiplier of maximum order. Finally we prove that the order of the Schur…

It is a longstanding conjecture that for a finite group $G$, the exponent of the second homology group $H_2(G, \mathbb{Z})$ divides the exponent of $G$. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for $p$-groups of class at most $p$, finite…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $M(G)$ be its Schur multiplier. It is well known result by Green that $|M(G)|= p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)-t(G)}$ for some $t(G) \geq 0$. In this article we classify non-abelian $p$-groups $G$ of…

Recently Rai obtained an upper bound for the order of the Schur multiplier of a $d$-generator special $p$-group when its derived subgroup has the maximum value $ p^{\frac{1}{2}d(d-1)}$ for $ d\geq 3 $ and $ p\neq 2. $ Here we try to obtain…

The author in $($On the order of Schur multiplier of non-abelian $p$-groups. J. Algebra (2009).322: 4479--4482$)$ showed that for any $p$-group $G$ of order $p^n$ there exists a nonnegative integer $s(G)$ such that the order of Schur…

In 1956, Green provided a bound on the order of the Schur multiplier of $p$-groups. This bound, given as a function of the order of the group, is the best possible. Since then, the bound has been refined numerous times by adding other…

For a prime number $p$ and a free profinite group $S$ on the basis $X$, let $S^{(n,p)}$, $n=1,2,\ldots$ be the lower $p$-central filtration of $S$. For $p>n$, we give a combinatorial description of $H^2(S/S^{(n,p)},\mathbb{Z}/p)$ in terms…

In this article, we compute the Schur multiplier, non-abelian tensor square and exterior square of non-abelian $p$-groups of order $p^5$. As an application we determine the capability of groups of order $p^5$.

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $\exp(G)$ and let $m=\lfloor\log_pk\rfloor$. We show that $\exp(M^{(c)}(G))$ divides $\exp(G)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $c\geq1$, where $M^{(c)}(G)$ denotes the c-nilpotent…

In 1998, G. Ellis defined the Schur multiplier of a pair $(G,N)$ of groups and mentioned that this notion is a useful tool for studying pairs of groups. In this paper, we characterize the structure of a pair of finite $p$-groups $(G,N)$ in…

A p-group G is p-central if the central quotient has exponent p. We prove that for a subset of finite p-central p-groups, the order of the group G divides the order of Aut(G).

Let $G$ be a non-abelian $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $M(G)$ be its Schur multiplier. It is well known result by Green that $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)}$. So $|M(G)|= p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)-t(G)}$ for some $t(G) \geq 0$. The groups has…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^{n}$ with $|M(G)|=p^{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}-t},$ where $M(G)$ is the Schur multiplier of $G$. Ya.G. Berkovich, X. Zhou, and G. Ellis have determined the structure of $G$ when $t=0,1,2,3$. In this paper,…

We consider the capability of $p$ groups of class two and odd prime exponent. We use linear algebra and counting arguments to establish a number of new results. In particular, we settle the 4-generator case, and prove a sufficient condition…
