ALTERNATE PROOFS OF TWO CHARACTERIZATION THEOREMS OF MILLER AND JANKO ON 2-GROUPS, AND SOME RELATED RESULTS

Yakov Berkovich

Abstract.   We study the p-groups all of whose nonabelian maximal subgroups are decomposable in direct or central product of two groups with specific structures.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.   20D15.

Key words and phrases.   Minimal nonabelian p-groups, p-groups of maximal class, minimal non Dedekindian 2-groups, direct product, central product.
