Presenting the Zassenhaus Lie algebra by the Magnus Lie algebra

Abstract

It is shown that the Zassenhaus restricted ${\mathbb{F}}_p$-Lie algebra of a (pro-p) group G can be presented by the Magnus Lie algebra of G. For the class of (pro-p) groups for which the terms of the lower central series are torsion-free, the Zassenhaus restricted ${\mathbb{F}}_p$-Lie algebra can be explicitly computed from the Magnus Lie algebra. These results apply to orientable surface groups, right-angled Artin groups, pure braid groups, fundamental groups of supersolvable hyperplane arrangements and fundamental groups of strictly supersolvable toric arrangements.
