Infinite sequences of $p$-groups with fixed coclass

Abstract

Eick & Leedham-Green sketched a construction for infinite sequences of finite $p$-groups with fixed coclass. These infinite sequences have turned out to be very useful in the theory of finite $p$-groups. We exhibit a detailed description for the construction of the finite sequences and we determine presentations for the infinite sequences for the primes and coclasses $(2,1)$, $(2,2)$ and $(3,1)$.
