I plan on deleting everything above this after we have completed the paper.  I planned on just using the outline as a guide. 

I've been using these websites:

P-groups

Definitions:

  • Let p be a prime p $ \in $ $ \mathbb{Z} $ such that $ \mathbb{Z} $≥0. A p-group is a group of order pn.
  • A subgroup of order pk for some k ≥ 1 is called a p-subgroup.
  • If |G| = pαm where p does not divide m, then a subgroup of order pα is called a Sylow p-subgroup of G.

Regular p-groups

Definitons:

  • Suppose p is a prime number. A p-group G (i.e., a group where the order of every element is a power of p) is termed a regular p-group if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

1. For every a,b \in G, there exists c \in [\langle a,b\rangle, \langle a,b \rangle] such that a^pb^p = (ab)^pc^p. 2. For every a,b \in G, there exist c_1,c_2, \dots, c_k \in [\langle a,b\rangle, \langle a,b \rangle] such that a^pb^p = (ab)^pc_1^pc_2^p \dots c_k^p. 3. For every a,b \in G and every natural number n, there exist c_1,c_2, \dots, c_k \in [\langle a,b\rangle, \langle a,b \rangle] such that a^qb^q = (ab)^qc_1^qc_2^q \dots c_k^q where q = p^n.



Sylow's Theorems

Definitions:

Let G be a group of order pαm, where p is a prime, m≥1, and p does not divide m.  Then:
