INTRODUCTION

This is an account of some aspects of the theory of nilpotent groups,

c u l m i n a t i n g with a study of p-adlc completions,

the theory of groups a d m i t t i n g e x p o n e n t s on unipotent representations. the l o c a l i z a t i o n of nilpotent on nilpotent Z~rich. This,

groups

localizatlons,

in a ring, and some results

It includes an earlier set of notes on groups

(1972) and some earlier lectures

(1973) which were available

from the E.T.H.

in

An attempt has been made to make these notes self-contalned.

of course, means that there is a c o n s i d e r
