24,664 | # P-group
In mathematics, specifically group theory, given a prime number *p*, a ***p*-group** is a group in which the order of every element is a power of *p*. That is, for each element *g* of a *p*-group *G*, there exists a nonnegative integer *n* such that the product of *p^n^* copies of *g*, and not fewer, is equa... | 672 | P-group | 0 |
24,664 | # P-group
## Examples
*p*-groups of the same order are not necessarily isomorphic; for example, the cyclic group *C*~4~ and the Klein four-group *V*~4~ are both 2-groups of order 4, but they are not isomorphic.
Nor need a *p*-group be abelian; the dihedral group Dih~4~ of order 8 is a non-abelian 2-group. However, e... | 640 | P-group | 1 |
24,664 | # P-group
## Classification
The groups of order *p*^*n*^ for 0 ≤ *n* ≤ 4 were classified early in the history of group theory, and modern work has extended these classifications to groups whose order divides *p*^7^, though the sheer number of families of such groups grows so quickly that further classifications along... | 849 | P-group | 2 |
