The BCH series in terms of Lyndon words

Recently I did some explicit computations that involved the BCH series, $\log(e^x e^y)$. Here $x$ and $y$ are non-commuting variables, and the BCH series lives in the graded completion $FL(x,y)$ of ...

Free groups and free restricted Lie algebras

If $G$ is any group and $\gamma_k(G)$ denotes the $k$th term in the lower central series of $G$, then the commutator bracket on $G$ endows $$\mathcal{L}(G) = \bigoplus_{k=1}^{\infty} \gamma_k(G) / \...
