Abstract

We prove a cohomological property for a class of finite p-groups introduced earlier by M. Y. Xu, which we call semi-abelian p-groups. This result implies that a semi-abelian p-group has non inner automorphisms of order p, which settles a longstanding problem for this class. We answer also, independently, an old question of M. Y. Xu about the power structure of semi-abelian p-groups. DOI: 10.1017/S000497271400080X
