Coclass
In mathematics, the coclass of a finite p-group of order pn is n − c, where c is the class.
The coclass conjectures
The coclass conjectures were introduced by Leedham-Green and Newman (1980) and proved by Leedham-Green (1994) and Shalev (1994). They are:
- Conjecture A: Every p-group has a normal subgroup of class 2 with index depending only on p and its coclass.
- Conjecture B: The solvable length of a p-group can be bounded in terms of p and the coclass.
- Conjecture C: A pro p-group of finite coclass is solvable.
- Conjecture D: There are only finitely many pro p-groups of given coclass.
- Conjecture E: There are only finitely many solvable pro p-groups of given coclass.
gollark: Months are NOT defined by the moon!
gollark: "Neoliberalism" really just seems to be a word for "anything happening now which someone dislikes" these days?
gollark: Since apparently there's no scarcity problem.
gollark: Actually, all months are gollark month now.
gollark: Quite possibly.
