Central filtrations of Lie algebras

Consider L to be a graded free Lie algebra over a principal ideal domain, and r a nonzero element of L such that its leading term s, i.e. its homogeneous component of highest order, is not a proper multiple. The main result we show in this thesis is that the graded ideal of leading terms of elements...
