This is the fourth volume of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite p-group theory.
As in the previous volumes minimal nonabelian p-groups play an important role. Topics covered
in this volume include: subgroup structure of metacyclic p-groups Ishikawa s theorem on
p-groups with two sizes of conjugate classes p-central p-groups theorem of Kegel on nilpotence
of H p-groups partitions of p-groups characterizations of Dedekindian groups norm of p-groups
p-groups with 2-uniserial subgroups of small order The book also contains hundreds of original
exercises and solutions and a comprehensive list of more than 500 open problems. This work is
suitable for researchers and graduate students with a modest background in algebra.
