Abstract: We study a filtration on the group of homotopy classes of self maps of a compact Lie group associated with homotopy groups. We determine these filtrations of $ SU(3)$ and $ Sp(2)$ completely. We introduce two natural invariants $ lz_p(X)$ and $ sz_p(X)$ defined by the filtration, where $ p$ is a prime number, and compute the invariants for simple Lie groups in the cases where Lie groups are $ p$-regular or quasi $ p$-regular. We apply our results to the groups of self homotopy equivalences.
