Abstract

Let Lp(V) denote the pth Lie power of a finite-dimensional module V for a group G over a field of prime characteristic p, where Lp(V) is regarded as a submodule of the tensor power Tp(V). There is a natural homomorphism from Lp(V) onto the pth metabelian Lie power Mp(V). We show that the kernel of this homomorphism is a direct summand of Tp(V) and apply this result to the generic case where G is the general linear group on V and the field is infinite. In this case we find the indecomposable direct summands of Lp(V) and their multiplicities.
