Extract

Associated with, the powers of the augmentation ideal are the dimension subgroups. In the integral group ring case, they have long been conjectured to be the terms of the lower central series. This paper investigates the subgroups associated with the chain of ideals dual to the chain of powers of the augmentation ideal. The study is reduced to the case of the modular group rings of p-groups. The subgroups are calculated for Abelian p-groups, p odd. They appear in the upper central series of wreath products and provide a new criterion for the nilpotence of an arbitrary wreath product. The nilpotence class of wreath products is considered here as well; calculations and bounds are given; in particular, a new method of computing the class of the Sylow p-subgroups of the symmetric group arises.
