I looked at your classification of groups of order 16 and verified your translation of the smaller anonymous groups I found. In hopes of identifying this group, I found its derived subgroup 2^4 .
This must be a typo for 2^2 ?
No. I'm trying to describe the 48-element group with order spectrum [1,15,32,0,...,0]. Gap claims its derived subgroup (which it defines as the subgroup generated by the commutators) is the 16-element group with order spectrum [1,15,0,0]--that's 2^4. Could GAP be mistaken, or am I just spreading confusion? Thanks for explaining this stuff. I'm really in the dark about being able to describe the group I'm talking about. Dan
