Lie nilpotent group ◮ A. Shalev (1993) proved that, if p ≥ 5, | G ′ | = p n for algebras and central series some integer n and t L ( KG ) < | G ′ | + 1, then Lie nilpotency index t L ( KG ) ≤ p n − 1 + 2 p − 1 and the equality holds if, and Computation of cl ( U ( KG )) Upper Lie codimension only if, G ′ has a cyclic subgroup of index p and subgroups Open questions γ 3 ( G ) �≤ G ′ p . ◮ Assume that G is a CF ( 5 , n , 2 ) group and K is a field of even characteristic.Then t L ( KG ) = t L ( KG ) = 8 > 2 3 − 1 + 4 − 1 = 7 . In this sense, Shalev’s inequality does not hold in characteristic 2. ◮ Let f ( 2 , n ) be a function such that t L ( KG ) ≤ f ( 2 , n ) when t L ( KG ) is not maximal. The upper bound is exact when G is a CF ( 5 , n , 2 ) group and G ′ is elementary abelian. In this case G ′ does not contain any cyclic subgroup of index 2, thus also the group-theoretical condition required by Shalev’s result does not hold.
