Inner-Lazard Lie ring
Definition
An inner-Lazard Lie ring is a Lie ring such that the 3-local nilpotency class of is finite and is at most one more than the powering threshold of .
Another way of putting this is that there must exist a natural number with both the following two properties:
| No. | Shorthand for property | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The additive group is a powered group for the set of all primes strictly less than . | For any prime number , and any element , there is a unique element such that . |
| 2 | The 3-local nilpotency class is at most . | For any subset of of size at most three, the subring of generated by that subset is a nilpotent Lie ring of nilpotency class at most . |
Condition (1) gets more demanding (i.e., stronger, so satisfied by fewer groups) as increases, while condition (2) gets less demanding (i.e., weaker, so satisfied by fewer groups) as we increase . Thus, a particular value of c may work for a Lie ring but larger and smaller values may not.
p-Lie ring
An inner-Lazard -Lie ring is a special case of the above, namely a Lie ring such that:
- There is a prime such that every element of has order a power of .
- The Lie subring of generated by any three elements of is a nilpotent Lie ring of nilpotency class at most .
