Abstract: In 1934, Garrett Birkhoff has shown that the number of isomorphism classes of finite metabelian groups of order $p^{22}$ tends to infinity with $p$. More precisely, for each prime number $p$ there is a family $(M_{l}ambda{)}_{lambda=0,\mathrm{...},p-1}$ of indecomposable and pairwise nonisomorphic metabelian $p$-groups of the given order. In this manuscript we use recent results on the classification of possible embeddings of a subgroup in a finite abelian $p$-group to construct families of indecomposable metabelian groups, indexed by several parameters, which have upper bounds on the exponents of the center and the commutator subgroup.

Review text

Under metabelian groups the author understands the groups of class \(2\). It was shown by \textit{G. Birkhoff} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 38, 385-401 (1934; Zbl 0010.34304)], that the number of isomorphism classes of groups of order \(p^{22}\) and nilpotence class \(2\) tends to infinity with \(p\). In this note the author uses recent results on the classification of possible embeddings of a subgroup in a finite Abelian \(p\)-group to construct families of indecomposable groups of class \(2\), indexed by several parameters, which have upper bounds on the exponents of the center and the derived subgroup.
