Dear Gap Forum,
Is it possible to generate a finite p-group G such that
(1) $G/G_2$ is isomorphic to Z/pZ X Z/pZ
(2) $G_2/G_3$ is isomorphic to Z/pZ
(3) $G_2$ is of exponent p
(4) If g belong to G not $G_2$, then order(g) is bigger than p.
Here $G_2$ and $G_3$ are respectively the second and third term
in the lower central series.
The most natural to think is p-groups of maximal class. But upto
order p^p, I think there is no such group.
with regards,
Siddhartha Sarkar
