Modular Group Algebras with Small Upper Lie Nilpotency Index

Abstract

Let KG be the modular group algebra of a group G over a field K of characteristic p > 0. The classification of group algebras KG with upper Lie nilpotency index tL(KG) greater than or equal to |G′| – 13p + 14 have already been done. In this paper, our aim is to classify the group algebras KG for which tL(KG) = |G′| – 14p + 15.
