Abstract:
Let  be a finite  -group which does not contain a rank two elementary abelian  -group as a direct factor. Then the ideal of essential classes in the mod- cohomology ring of  is a Cohen-Macaulay module whose Krull dimension is the  -rank of the centre of  . This basically answers in the affirmative a question posed by J. F. Carlson (Question 5.4 in Problems in the calculation of group cohomology, 1999).
