A note on Lie nilpotent group rings

On Rings Whose Associated Lie Rings Are Nilpotent

We call (i?) 1 the Lie ring associated with R, and denote it by 9Î. The question of how far the properties of SR determine those of R is of considerable interest, and has been studied extensively for the case when R is an algebra, but little is known of the situation in general. In an earlier paper the author investigated the effect of the nilpotency of 9î upon the structure of R if R contains ...

nilpotent quotients in finitely presented Lie rings †

A nilpotent quotient algorithm for finitely presented Lie rings over Z (LIENQ) is described. The paper studies the graded and non-graded cases separately. The algorithm computes the so-called nilpotent presentation for a finitely presented, nilpotent Lie ring. A nilpotent presentation consists of generators for the abelian group and the products expressed as linear combinations for pairs formed...

A Note on Carnot Geodesics in Nilpotent Lie Groups

We show that strictly abnormal geodesics arise in graded nilpotent Lie groups. We construct such a group, for which some Carnot geodesics are strictly abnormal and, in fact, not normal in any subgroup. In the 2-step case we also prove that these geodesics are always smooth. Our main technique is based on the equations for the normal and abnormal curves, that we derive (for any Lie group) explic...
