In mathematics, specifically group theory, given a prime number p, a p-group is a group in which the order of every element is a power of p. That is, for each element g of a p-group G, there exists a nonnegative integer n such that the product of pn copies of g, and not fewer, is equal to the identity element. The orders of different elements may be different powers of p. Abelian p-groups are also called p-primary or simply primary. A finite group is a p-group if and only if its order (the number of its elements) is a power of p. Given a finite group G, the Sylow theorems guarantee the existence of a subgroup of G of order pn for every prime power pn that divides the order of G. The remainder of this article deals with finite p-groups. For an example of an infinite abelian p-group, see Prüfer group, and for an example of an infinite simple p-group, see Tarski monster group.

Definition of a group Lesson 24
In this video we take our first look at the definition of a group. It is basically a set of elements and the operation defined on them. If this set of elements and the operation defined on them obey the properties of closure and associativity, and if one of the elements is the identity el

Group theory 26: Too many p groups
This video is part of an online mathematics course on group theory. We construct ridiculously large numbers of groups of order p^n, to explain why we do not try to classify them.

What is a Group? | Abstract Algebra
Welcome to group theory! In today's lesson we'll be going over the definition of a group. We'll see the four group axioms in action with some examples, and some non-examples as well which violate the axioms and are thus not groups. In a fundamental way, groups are structures built from s

A group is (in a sense) the simplest structure in which we can do the familiar tasks associated with "algebra." First, in this video, we review the definition of a group.

Visual Group Thoery, Lecture 5.5: p-groups Before we can introduce the Sylow theorems, we need to develop some theory about groups of prime power order, which we call p-groups. In this lecture, we show that the number of fixed point of a p-group acting on a set S is congruent modulo p to

Group theory 24: Extra special groups
This lecture is part of an online mathematics course on group theory. It covers groups of order p^3. The non-abelian ones are examples of extra special groups, a sort of analog of the Heisenberg groups of quantum mechanics.

Group theory 12: Cauchy's theorem
This lecture is part of an online mathematics course on group theory. It gives two proofs of Cauchy's theorem that if a prime p divides the order of a group then the group has an element of that order. It also uses Cauchy's theorem to classify the group of order 2p.
