On the Order of the Schur Multiplier of a Pair of Finite p-Groups

Abstract

In 1998, G. Ellis defined the Schur multiplier of a pair $(G,N)$ of groups and mentioned that this notion is a useful tool for studying pairs of groups. In this paper, we characterize the structure of a pair of finite $p$-groups $(G,N)$ in terms of the order of the Schur multiplier of $(G,N)$ under some conditions.Comment: 11 pages, to appear in Journal of Advanced Research in Pure Mathematic
