A group \(G\) is said to be capable if there is a group \(H\), such that \(G\) is isomorphic to \(H/Z(H)\). Centerless groups are trivially capable. In the paper under review the author considers the case of finite \(p\)-groups, for some prime \(p\). For a fixed \(c\geq 1\), the finite \(p\)-groups which have a central series of length \(c\) with elementary abelian factors form a variety. Let \(G_d^c\) be the free group of rank \(d\geq 2\) in this variety. In the main result of this paper, it is proved that \(G_d^c\) is capable, as it is shown to be isomorphic to \(G_d^{c+1}/Z(G_d^{c+1})\).
