z-Classes in finite groups of conjugate type (n,1) (1605.01166v1)
Abstract: Two elements in a group $G$ are said to $z$-equivalent or to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers are conjugate in $G$. In \cite{kkj}, it was proved that a non-abelian $p$-group $G$ can have at most $\frac{pk-1}{p-1} +1$ number of $z$-classes, where $|G/Z(G)|=pk$. In this note, we characterize the $p$-groups of conjugate type $(n,1)$ attaining this maximal number. As a corollary, we characterize $p$-groups having prime order commutator subgroup and maximal number of $z$-classes.
