Extract

In most theories for the construction of finite groups with given properties a major difficulty is the ‘isomorphism problem’, which consists of specifying how one representative of each class of isomorphic groups may be selected from the totality of groups constructed by the process laid down. To do this we need a practical criterion for the isomorphism of two constructed groups. The main object of the present paper is to establish such a criterion in a particular case, which in spite of its simplicity is important because it gives a method for the construction of A-groups (i.e. soluble groups whose Sylow subgroups are all Abelian). All soluble groups of cube-free order are included in this class of groups, and to exemplify the application of the criterion we summarize that part of our unpublished dissertation (7) which deals in detail with the groups of order 22.32.52.
