Abstract: | This paper considers the imbedding problem for numerical fields and p-groups with nonabelian kernel of order p4, two generators and , and defining relations=1, p=1, [,,]=1, and [,,]= 1. For p=2 and almost always for odd p, the Hasse principle is valid, and the problem is solvable if and only if all related local problems are solvable. Counterexamples in which the Hasse principle is not valid are constructed for some exceptional cases.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
