Abstract:
Let be the group ring of a group over a field , with characteristic different from . Let denote the natural involution on sending each group element to its inverse. Denote by the set of symmetric elements with respect to this involution. A paper of Giambruno and Sehgal showed that provided has no -elements, if is Lie nilpotent, then so is . In this paper, we determine when is Lie nilpotent, if does contain -elements.
