Abstract: The following theorem is proved: let G denote a compact connected semisimple Lie group. There exists $\theta = \theta (G)(3 \leqslant \theta < 4)$ such that, if ${\chi _1}, \ldots ,{\chi _N}$ are N distinct characters of G, ${d_1}, \ldots ,{d_N}$ their dimensions, ${c_1}, \ldots ,{c_N}$ complex numbers of modulus greater than or equal to one, then, for all $p > \theta ,\vert\vert\vert\Sigma _{j = 1}^N{c_j}{d_j}{\chi _j}\vert\vert{\vert _p} \geqslant$ const $_p N^{\alpha_p}$ where $\vert\vert\vert \cdot \vert\vert{\vert _p}$ denotes the ${L^p}(G)$ convolutor norm and const and ${\alpha _p} = {\alpha _p}(G)$ are positive constants. Results on divergence of Fourier series on compact Lie groups are deduced.
