Lie nilpotency index of skew symmetric elements in group algebras
Abstract
Let FG be the group algebra of a finite p-group G over a finite field F of characteristic p, where p is an odd prime. Let * be the classical involution of FG and let FG- be the Lie subalgebra of the skew symmetric elements with respect to *. In this paper, we prove that the Lie nilpotency index of FG is determined by its Lie subalgebra FG-, in the case when G is a p-group with a commutator subgroup of order p. The structure of the terms of the lower Lie central series of FG- has also been described.

Let * be the classical involution of FG and let FG^- be the Lie subalgebra of the skew symmetric elements with respect to *. In this paper, we prove that the Lie nilpotency index of FG is determined by its Lie subalgebra FG^-, in the case when G is a p-group with a commutator subgroup of order p. The structure of the terms of the lower Lie central series of FG^- has also been described.
