Classification of finite p-groups by the size of their Schur multipliers

Abstract: Let

d (G)

be the minimum number of elements required to generated a group

G .

For a group

G

of order

p^{n}

with derived subgroup of order

p^{k}

and

d (G) = d,

we knew the order of the Schur multiplier of

G

is bounded by

p^{f r a c 12 (d - 1) (n - k + 2) + 1} .

In the current paper, we find the structure of all

p

-groups that attains the mentioned bound. Moreover, we show that all of them are capable.
