Finite \(p\)-central groups of height \(k\).




Abstract: A finite group G is called {it pi-central of height k} if every element of order pi of G is contained in the kth-term zetak(G) of the ascending central series of G. If p is odd such a group has to be p-nilpotent (Thm. A). Finite p-central p-groups of height p2 can be seen as the dual analogue of finite potent p-groups, i.e., for such a finite p-group P the group P/Omega1(P) is also p-central of height p2 (Thm. B). In such a group P the index of Pp is less or equal than the order of the subgroup Omega1(P) (Thm. C). If the Sylow p-subgroup P of a finite group G is p-central of height p1, p odd, and NG(P) is p-nilpotent, then G is also p-nilpotent (Thm. D). Moreover, if G is a p-soluble finite group, p odd, and PinextSylp(G) is p-central of height p2, then NG(P) controls p-fusion in G (Thm. E). It is well-known that the last two properties hold for Swan groups.
