Extract

Introduction. In his paper ((1)), Baumslag has shown that the wreath product A wr B of a group A by a group B is nilpotent if and only if A is a nilpotent p-group of finite exponent and B is a finite p-group, the prime p being the same for both groups. Liebeck ((3)) has obtained the exact nilpotency class of A wr B when A and B are Abelian. Let A be an Abelian p -group of exponent pn and let B be a direct product of cyclic groups, whose orders are pβ1, …, pβn, with β1 ≤ β2 ≤ … βn. Then A wr B has nilpotency class .
