Generation of p-groups by elements of bounded breadth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
The following conjecture of I. D. Macdonald is confirmed in this paper. If G is a finite ρ-group generated by elements of breadth at most n, then the nilpotency class of G is bounded in terms of nonly.
