Abstract:
An Alperin group is a group in which every 2-generated subgroup has a cyclic commutant. Previously, we constructed examples of finite Alperin 2-groups with second commutant isomorphic to $Z_2$ or $Z_4$. Here, it is proved that for any natural $n$, there exists a finite Alperin 2-group whose second commutant is isomorphic to $Z_{2^n}$.
Keywords:2-group, Alperin group, commutant, representation of groups in terms of generators and defining relations.
