Abstract

Recall that a $p$-group of order $p^ {n} >p^ {3} $ is of maximal class, if its nilpotency class is $n-1$. In this paper, we study the $p$-groups of maximal class. Furthermore, we introduce a subgroup of a $p$-group of maximal class called the fundamental subgroup. This group plays a fundamental role in the development of the general theory of $p$-groups of maximal class. As an application, we study some special class of finite $p$-groups of maximal class and exponent $p$.
