Normal lattice of certain metabelian p-groups G with \(G/G^\prime\simeq (p,p)\)

Abstract

Let p be an odd prime. The lattice of all normal subgroups and the terms of the lower and upper central series are determined for all metabelian p-groups with generator rank d=2 having abelianization of type (p,p) and minimal defect of commutativity k=0. It is shown that many of these groups are realized as Galois groups of second Hilbert p-class fields of an extensive set of quadratic fields which are characterized by principalization types of p-classes.
