Abstract
Polynomial-time algorithms are given to find a central decomposition of maximum size for a finite p-group of class 2 and for a nilpotent Lie ring of class 2. The algorithms use Las Vegas probabilistic routines to compute the structure of finite *-rings and also the Las Vegas C-MeatAxe. When p is small, the probabilistic methods can be replaced by deterministic polynomial-time algorithms. The methods introduce new group isomorphism invariants including new characteristic subgroups.
