AbstractA close connection is uncovered between the lower central series of the free associative algebra of countable rank and the descending Loewy series of the direct sum of all Solomon descent algebras Δn, n ∈ ℕ0. Each irreducible Δn-module is shown to occur in at most one Loewy section of any principal indecomposable Δn-module.A precise condition for his occurence and formulae for the Cartan numbers are obtained.

Let G be a group with a normal subgroup H whose index is a power of a prime p, and which is nilpotent with exponent a power of p. Gilbert Baumslag (Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 55 (1959), 224–231) has shown that such a group is nilpotent; the main result of this paper is an upper bound on its nilpotency class in terms of parameters of H and G/H. It is shown that this bound is attained whenever G is a wreath product and H its base group.A descending central series, here called the cpp-series, is involved in these calculations more closely than is the lower central series, and the class of the wreath product in terms of this series is also found.Two tools used to obtain the main result, namely a useful basis for a finite p-group and a result about the augmentation ideal of the integer group ring of a finite p-group, may have some independent interest. The main result is applied to the construction of some two-generator groups of large nilpotency class with exponents 8, 9, and 25.

AbstractLet G be a finite p-group, and let {\otimes^{3}G} be its triple tensor product. In this paper, we obtain an upper bound for the order of {\otimes^{3}G}, which sharpens the bound given by G. Ellis and A. McDermott, [Tensor products of prime-power groups, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 132 1998, 2, 119–128]. In particular, when G has a derived subgroup of order at most p, we classify those groups G for which the bound is attained. Furthermore, by improvement of a result about the exponent of {\otimes^{3}G} determined by G. Ellis [On the relation between upper central quotients and lower central series of a group, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 353 2001, 10, 4219–4234], we show that, when G is a nilpotent group of class at most 4, {\exp(\otimes^{3}G)} divides {\exp(G)}.

AbstractThe problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same group acting on the symmetric tensor algebra of the Lie algebra. This process is applied to prove a constructive Hilbert–Nagata Theorem (including degree bounds) for the algebra of invariants in a Lie nilpotent relatively free associative algebra endowed with an action induced by a representation of a reductive group.
