Abstract

Let be an odd prime. We construct a -group of nilpotency class two, rank seven and exponent , such that induces on the Frattini quotient. The constructed group is the smallest -group with these properties, having order , and when our construction gives two nonisomorphic -groups. To show that satisfies the specified properties, we study the action of on the octonion algebra over , for each power of , and explore the reducibility of the exterior square of each irreducible seven-dimensional -module.
