Let $KG$ be the modular group algebra of an arbitrary group $G$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. It is seen that if $KG$ is Lie nilpotent, then its lower as well as upper Lie nilpotency index is at least $p+1$. The classification…

In this paper, we classify the modular group algebra $KG$ of a group $G$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$ having upper Lie nilpotency index $t^{L}(KG)= \vert G^{\prime}\vert - k(p-1) + 1$ for $k=14$ and $15$. Group algebras of upper…

In the present paper we give the full description of the Lie nilpotent group algebras which have maximal Lie nilpotency indices.

In this article, we show that if $KG$ is Lie nilpotent group algebra of a group $G$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$, then $t_{L}(KG)=k$ if and only if $t^{L}(KG)=k$, for $k\in\{5p-3, 6p-4\}$, where $t_{L}(KG)$ and $t^{L}(KG)$ are…

Let $G$ be a group and let $F$ be a field of characteristic different from 2. Denote by $(FG)^+$ the set of symmetric elements and by $\mathcal{U}^+(FG)$ the set of symmetric units, under an oriented classical involution of the group…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $K$ be a field of characteristic $p$. The Modular Isomorphism Problem (MIP) asks whether the group algebra $KG$ determines the group $G$. Dealing with MIP, we investigated a question…

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

For a finite group $G$ and an element $x\in G$, the subset $$ nil_G(x)=\{y\in G \mid <x,y>~~ is ~~ nilpotent\}$$ is called nilpotentizer of $x$ in $G$. In this paper, we give two solvabilty criteria for a finite group by the structure and…

We prove that the $k$th term of the lower central series of a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|=|a||b|$ for any $\gamma_k$-commutators $a,b\in G$ of coprime orders.

Assume G is a nilpotent group of class > 3 in which every proper subgroup has class at most 3. In this note, we give the exact upper bound of class of G.

A Lie algebra L is known to be nilpotent if it admits a grading by (Zp, +) with support X not containing 0. It is also known that the class of L can be bounded by some explicit function of |X|. We generalise this and other classical results…

Let $G$ be a finite group with the property that if $a,b$ are commutators of coprime orders, then $|ab|=|a||b|$. We show that $G'$ is nilpotent.

We adopt the $p$-group generation algorithm to classify small-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over small fields. Using an implementation of this algorithm, we list the nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension at most~9 over $\F_2$ and those…

Let $G$ be a finite soluble group and $G^{(k)}$ the $k$th term of the derived series of $G$. We prove that $G^{(k)}$ is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|=|a||b|$ for any $\delta_k$-values $a,b\in G$ of coprime orders. In the course of the…

The 'degree of k-step nilpotence' of a finite group G is the proportion of the tuples (x_1,...,x_{k+1}) in G^{k+1} for which the simple commutator [x_1,...,x_{k+1}] is equal to the identity. In this paper we study versions of this for an…

We show that every finite group $G$ of size at least $3$ has a nilpotent subgroup of class at most $2$ and size at least $|G|^{1/32\log\log|G|}$. This answers a question of Pyber, and is essentially best possible.

We classify the nilpotent Lie rings of order $p^8$ with maximal class for $p \ge 5$. This also provides a classification of the groups of order $p^8$ with maximal class for $p \ge 11$ via the Lazard correspondence.

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $V$ be a completely reducible faithful $G$-module. By a result of Glauberman it has been known for a long time that if $G$ is nilpotent of class 2, then $|G| < |V|$. In this paper we generalize this result…
