Definition

A group of prime power order is termed a Lazard Lie group if every subgroup of it generated by three elements, has nilpotence class at most where is the prime associated with the group.

Lazard's theorem gives a method to construct a Lie algebra for any Lazard Lie group. This construction and its paraphernalia go under the name of the Lazard correspondence.
