Bogomolov multipliers for some p-groups of nilpotency class 2

Abstract: The Bogomolov multiplier

B_{0} (G)

of a finite group

G

is defined as the subgroup of the Schur multiplier consisting of the cohomology classes vanishing after restriction to all abelian subgroups of

G

. The triviality of the Bogomolov multiplier is an obstruction to Noether's problem. We show that if

G

is a central product of

G_{1}

and

G_{2}

, regarding

K_{i} l e q Z (G_{i}), i = 1, 2

, and

h e t a : G_{1} o G_{2}

is a group homomorphism such that its restriction

h e t a v e r t_{K_{1}} : K_{1} o K_{2}

is an isomorphism, then the triviality of

B_{0} (G_{1} / K_{1}), B_{0} (G_{1})

and

B_{0} (G_{2})

implies the triviality of

B_{0} (G)

. We give a positive answer to Noether's problem for all

(with the usual requirement for the roots of unity).
