Abstract:
For a finite group G we denote by d(G) the minimum number of its generators and by G′ the commutator group of G. In 1975 Ustyuzhaninov published without proof the list of finite 2-groups generated by three involutions with elementary abelian commutator subgroup. In particular, d(G′)≤5 for such a group G. Continuing this research, we pose the problem of classifying all finite 2-groups generated by n involutions (for any n≥2) with elementary abelian commutator subgroup. For a finite 2-group G generated by n involutions with d(G)=n, we prove that d(G′)≤(n2)+2(n3)+⋯+(n−1)(nn) for any n≥2 and that the upper bound is attainable. In addition, we construct for any n≥2 a finite 2-group generated by n involutions with elementary abelian commutator subgroup of rank (n2)+2(n3)+⋯+(n−1)(nn). The method of constructing this group is similar to the method used by the author in a number of papers for the construction of Alperin's finite groups. We obtain G as the consecutive semidirect product of groups of order 2. We also give an example of an infinite 2-group generated by involutions with infinite elementary abelian commutator subgroup; the example is obtained from the constructed finite 2-groups.
