Capability of nilpotent products of cyclic groups

A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of nilpotent products of cyclic groups, and obtain a generalization of a theorem of Baer for the small class case. The approach is also used to obtain some recent results on the capability of certain nilpo tent gro...

Summary:A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of nilpotent products of cyclic groups, and obtain a generalization of a theorem of Baer for the small class case. The approach is also used to obtain some recent results on the capability of certain nilpo tent groups of class 2. We also establish a necessary condition for the capability of an arbitrary p -group of class k, and some further results.
