Abstract
We bound the order of a finite p-group in terms of its exponent and p-rank. Here the p-rank is the maximal rank of an abelian subgroup. These results are applied to defect groups of p-blocks of finite groups with given Loewy length. Doing so, we improve results in a recent paper by Koshitani, Külshammer, and Sambale. In particular, we determine possible defect groups for blocks with Loewy length 4.

N1 - Funding Information: Proof. By Proposition 4.13 in [9] we may assume that D is non-abelian. Since D has exponent at most 9, it follows that D =∼ C9 C3 or C9 C9. In the first case, Theorem 4.5 in [17] implies that all Cartan invariants of B are divisible by 3. The same holds in case |D| = 34 by Corollary 5 in [15] (cf. [17, Section 2]). Now Proposition 4.6 in [9] gives a contradiction. The last statement follows from Propositions 4.13 and 4.14 in [9]. □ Acknowledgements.
