5-Engel Lie algebras

Group Theory 2024-02-01 v2

Abstract

We prove that 5-Engel Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero, or over a field of prime characteristic p>7p>7, are nilpotent of class at most 11. We also prove that if GG is a finite 5-Engel pp-group for p>7p>7 then GG is nilpotent of class at most 10.
