Let [Formula: see text] be an arbitrary group and let [Formula: see text] be a field of characteristic [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give some improvements of the upper bound of the lower Lie nilpotency index [Formula: see text] of the group algebra [Formula: see text]. We also give improved bounds for [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the number of independent generators of the finite abelian group [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we give a description of the Lie nilpotent group algebra [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. We also show that for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the upper Lie nilpotency index of [Formula: see text].
