Statement

For groups

Suppose is a group and is a natural number such that the -local nilpotency class of is at most . Then, is a nilpotent group and the nilpotency class of is at most .

For Lie rings

Suppose is a Lie ring and is a natural number such that the -local nilpotency class of is at most . Then, is a nilpotent Lie ring and the nilpotency class of is at most .

Facts used

  1. 2-Engel implies class three for groups, 2-Engel implies class three for Lie rings

Proof

The proof follows mostly from Fact (1).
