Publication:

Susan Evans-Riley, M.F. Newman, and Csaba Schneider, `On the soluble length of groups with prime-power order'., Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 59, (1999), 343-346 

Currently working with:

M.F. Newman of the Australian National University on another paper about groups with prime-power order, and

George A. Willis of the University of Newcastle on a paper about totally disconnected abelian groups, which will (we hope) lead to a paper on totally disconnected nilpotent groups. 

Look for these in 2002! 

My Greatest Accomplishment:

Alana Belle Riley, born March 15, 1994.  (Beware the Ides of March!)
Alana was named after her father, Alan James Riley, and my grandmother, Maggie Belle Sawyers (nee Brawner)

Teaching/Research interests:

Finite p-Group Theory:  trying to solve questions posed by  Burnside, Hall, and Blackman regarding derived length  of  p-groups with respect to their order.
