Summary:  For a finite group G, we consider the problem of counting simultaneous conjugacy classes of n-tuples and simultaneous conjugacy classes of commuting n-tuples in G. Let α{G,n} denote the number of simultaneous conjugacy classes of n-tuples, and β{G,n} the number of simultaneous conjugacy classes of commuting n-tuples in G. The generating functions A{G}(t) = Σ {n ≥ 0} α{G,n} t{n}, and B{G}(t) = Σ{n ≥ 0} β{G,n} t{n} are rational functions of t. In this paper we study normalized functions A{G}(t/|G|) and B{G}(t/|G|) for finite p-groups of rank at most 5.
