What is the definition of “mod p lower central series”












3












$begingroup$


I am wondering what is the exact definition of "mod $p$ lower central series"?



Is it the same thing as the "lower p-central series" as presented here: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/81193793.pdf?



Thanks a lot.

    Can you give a reference where you saw this term? I would expect it means you also kill p-torsion in the series factors, but that might not be exactly right.

    That paper references the paper you linked, so I'm guessing they are the same.

It is not the same, in that article they use what is called the Zassenhauss filtration.
The definition of the lower p-central series (also known as Stallings filtration ) of a group G is given recursively by the rule:
$G_1=G, ;
G_{i+1}= [G,G_i](G_i)^p.$
