Regular dessins uniquely determined by a nilpotent automorphism group

It is well known that the automorphism group of a regular dessin is a two-generator finite group, and the isomorphism classes of regular dessins with automorphism groups isomorphic to a given finite group $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the orbits of the action of $\text{Aut}(G)$ on the ordered generating pairs of $G$. If there is only one orbit, then up to isomorphism the regular dessin is uniquely determined by the group $G$ and it is called uniquely regular. In the paper we investigate the classification of uniquely regular dessins with a nilpotent automorphism group. The problem is reduced to the classification of finite maximally automorphic $p$-groups $G$, i.e., the order of the automorphism group of $G$ attains Hall’s upper bound. Maximally automorphic $p$-groups of nilpotency class three are classified.
