On generators of crystallographic groups and actions on flat orbifolds

We find new bounds on the minimal number of generators of crystallographic groups with p-group holonomy. We also show that similar bounds exist on the minimal number of generators of the abelianizations of arbitrary crystallographic groups. As a consequence, we show that this restricts the rank of e...
