Definition

Let be a group of prime power order, i.e., a finite -group for some prime number . We say that has a maximal elementary abelian subgroup of prime-square order if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  1. There exists an elementary abelian subgroup of of order that is not contained in any bigger elementary abelian subgroup of .
  2. There exists an elementary abelian subgroup of of order such that .
  3. There exists an element such that is elementary abelian of order .
