Description
Summary:We prove that for p>7 there are‎ ‎‎‎p^4 +2p^3 +20p^2 +147p+(3p+29)gcd(p−1,3)+5gcd(p−1,4)+1246‎‎ ‎groups of order p^8 with exponent p‎. ‎If P is a group of order p^8 ‎ ‎and exponent p‎, ‎and if P has class c>1 then P is a descendant of ‎P/γ c (P)‎. ‎For each group of exponent p with order less than ‎p^8 we calculate the number of descendants of order p^8 with‎ ‎exponent p. ‎In all but one case we are able to obtain a complete and‎ ‎irredundant list of the descendants‎. ‎But in the case of the three generator‎ ‎class two group of order p^6 and exponent p (p>3 )‎, ‎while we are able‎ ‎to calculate the number of descendants of order p^8, ‎we have not been‎ ‎able to obtain a list of the descendants‎.
