Descriptions of groups of prime power order

M.F. Newman, Werner Nickel, Alice C. Niemeyer

Abstract We describe in some detail an algorithm with is an important ingredient in the performance of programs for working with descriptions of groups of prime-power order. It is an algorithm for computing a useful power-commutator presentation for the p-covering group of a group given by a power-commutator presentation. We prove that the algorithm is correct and give some examples.
