Examples
Many familiar p-groups are regular:
- Every abelian p-group is regular.
- Every p-group of nilpotency class strictly less than p is regular.
- Every p-group of order at most pp is regular.
- Every finite group of exponent p is regular.
However, many familiar p-groups are not regular:
- Every nonabelian 2-group is irregular.
- The Sylow p-subgroup of the symmetric group on p2 points is irregular and of order pp+1.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
