Longer nilpotent series for classical unipotent subgroups

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

In studying nilpotent groups, the lower central series and other variations can be used to construct an associated Z+\mathbb{Z}^+-graded Lie ring, which is a powerful method to inspect a group. Indeed, the process can be generalized substantially by introducing Nd\mathbb{N}^d-graded Lie rings. We compute the adjoint refinements of the lower central series of the unipotent subgroups of the classical Chevalley groups over the field Z/pZ\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} of rank dd. We prove that, for all the classical types, this characteristic filter is a series of length Θ(d2)Θ(d^2) with nearly all factors having pp-bounded order.
