Lie algebras and torsion groups with identity

We prove that a finitely generated Lie algebra L such that (i) every commutator in generators is ad-nilpotent, and (ii) L satisfies a polynomial identity, is nilpotent. As a corollary we get that a finitely generated residually- p torsion group whose pro- p completion satisfies a pro- p identity is...

Zusammenfassung:We prove that a finitely generated Lie algebra L such that (i) every commutator in generators is ad-nilpotent, and (ii) L satisfies a polynomial identity, is nilpotent. As a corollary we get that a finitely generated residually- p torsion group whose pro- p completion satisfies a pro- p identity is finite.
