Enumeration of metacyclic \(p\)-groups (Q2365297)

The following theorems are the main results of this paper. Theorem 3. If \(p\) is an odd prime, then the number of metacyclic \(p\)-groups of order \(p^N\) is \((M+12N+72)/72\) if \(N\equiv 0\pmod 6\); \((M+3N+56)/72\) if \(N\equiv 1\pmod 6\); \((M+12N+64)/72\) if \(N\equiv 2\pmod 6\); \((M+3N+72)/72\) if \(N\equiv 3\pmod 6\); \((M+12N+56)/72\) if \(N\equiv 4\pmod 6\); \((M+3N+64)/72\) if \(N\equiv 5\pmod 6\); where \(M=N^3+12N^2\). Theorem 7. If \(N\geq 4\), then the number of metacyclic 2-groups of order \(2^N\) is \((T-168N+432)/72\) if \(N\equiv 0\pmod 6\); \((T-177N+416)/72\) if \(N\equiv 1\pmod 6\); \((T-168N+424)/72\) if \(N\equiv 2\pmod 6\); \((T-177N+432)/72\) if \(N\equiv 3\pmod 6\); \((T-168N+416)/72\) if \(N\equiv 4\pmod 6\); \((T-177N+424)/72\) if \(N\equiv 5\pmod 6\); where \(T=N^3+48N^2\).
