A Short Survey and Open Questions on Compact Q-Groups

Finite Q -groups have been recently studied and form a class of solvable groups, which satisfy interesting structural conditions. We survey some of their main properties and introduce the idea of Q -group for compact p-groups (p prime). A list of open questions is presented, along with several connections of arithmetic nature on a problem originally due to Frobenius.
