Kirillov's Orbit Method for p-Groups and Pro-p Groups

In this text, we study Kirillov's orbit method in the context of Lazard's p-saturable groups when p is an odd prime. Using this approach we prove that the orbit method works in the following cases: torsion free p-adic analytic pro-p groups of dimension smaller than p, pro-p Sylow subgroups of classical groups over ? _p of small dimension and for certain families of finite p-groups.
