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 is termed a regular p-group if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  • 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. *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. *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. <br> == Sylow's Theorems == '''Definitions:''' Let G be a group of order&nbsp;p<sup>α</sup>m, where p is a prime, m≥1, and p does not divide m. &nbsp;Then:<sub></sub> #Syl<sub>p</sub>(G)&nbsp;<sub></sub> <br> [[Category:MA453Fall2013Walther]] $
