Abstract: Coclass theory can be used to define infinite families of finite p-groups of a fixed coclass. It is conjectured that the groups in one of these infinite families all have isomorphic mod-p cohomology rings. Here we prove that almost all groups in one of these infinite families have equivalent Quillen categories. We also show how the Quillen categories of the groups in an infinite family are connected to the Quillen category of their associated infinite pro-p-group of finite coclass.

Review text

The approach to the theory of finite \(p\)-groups via the coclass invariant, as introduced by \textit{C. R. Leedham-Green} and \textit{M. F. Newman} [Arch. Math. 35, 193-202 (1980; Zbl 0437.20016)] has been extremely successful. \textit{B. Eick} and \textit{C. Leedham-Green} have introduced [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 40, No. 2, 274-288 (2008; Zbl 1168.20007)] the concept of coclass families, which are certain infinite families of finite \(p\)-groups of a given coclass which share structural properties, and can thus be treated uniformly. See for instance the recent contribution [J. Algebra 421, 102-118 (2015; Zbl 1307.20017)] by the first author to the case of metabelian groups. The main result of the paper under review is that all but a finite number of the \(p\)-groups in a given coclass family have equivalent Quillen categories. This yields in particular a contribution to the still open problem, whether the mod-\(p\) cohomology rings of the groups in a coclass family are all isomorphic.
