Binary p-adic-group
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
An infinite group
of square matrices of order 2
\left \| \begin{array}{lr} a & b \\ c & d \\ \end{array} \right \| ,
where a, b, c, d are integral p - adic numbers (cf. p - adic number) satisfying the following conditions:
ad - bc = 1,\ \ c \equiv 0 ( \mathop{\rm mod} p),\ \ d \equiv 1 ( \mathop{\rm mod} p).
The quotient groups of such groups of the form G/N , where N is the n - th member of the lower central series of G or the n - th term of the derived series (the series of higher commutators of G ), are examples of finite p - groups having certain extremal properties.
