On quadratic conjecture

Abstract

Quadratic conjecture is a strengthening of oliver's $p$-group conjecture. Let $G$ be a $p$-group of maximal class of order $p^n$. We prove that if $n\le 8$ or $n\ge \max \{2p-6,p+2\}$ then $G$ satisfies Quadratic Conjecture. Hence quadratic conjecture holds if $G$ is a $p$-group of maximal class where $p\le 7$.
