Abstract

Let VV be a finite-dimensional FGFG-module, where FF is a field of prime characteristic pp and GG is a group. We show that, when rr is not a power of pp, the Lie power Lr(V)L^r(V) has a direct summand Br(V)B^r(V) which is a direct summand of the tensor power VrV^{\otimes r} and which satisfies dimBr(V)/dimLr(V)1\dim B^r(V)/\dim L^r(V) \to 1 as rr \to \infty. Similarly, for the same values of rr, we obtain a projective submodule C(r)C(r) of the Lie module \Lie(r)\Lie(r) over FF such that dimC(r)/dim\Lie(r)1\dim C(r)/\dim \Lie(r) \to 1 as rr \to \infty.
