Dear Forum,

Since I am currently investigating polynomial functions on
p-groups, I have found out that a lot of properties of the
group (exponent, centre, ...) can be directly seen from
the power-commutator-representation of the group. I have read what
is written in Sim's book "Computation with finitely presented groups",
but I suppose that there is a lot of more detailled information
on computing with p-groups.

I see that one possibility to learn more about computing with
p-groups is reading the source of the GAP-functions;
but you can probably point out a better source of information
(e.g. Master's or PhD-theses) on this subject to me.

Best regards,

Erhard
