Abstract

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p and KG the group algebra of a group G. It is known that if KG is Lie nilpotent, then its upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most |G′| + 1, where |G′| is the order of the commutator subgroup. The class of groups G for which these indices are maximal or almost maximal has already been determined. Here we determine G for which upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is the next highest possible.
