Inner-Lazard Lie ring

From Groupprops

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:

  1. There is a prime such that every element of has order a power of .
  2. The Lie subring of generated by any three elements of is a nilpotent Lie ring of nilpotency class at most .
