Extract

In 1980 Leedham-Green and Newman made a series of conjectures on the structure of pro-p groups and finite p-groups of a given coclass [10]. These insightful conjectures have gradually been proved, in a series of papers (some of which are still unpublished) by Leedham-Green, Donkin, McKay and Plesken (see, e.g. [11, 2, 8, 9, 13, 14]). Some simplifications (as well as additional information) have recently been given in [12, 15].
