Extract

Let G be an arbitrary group and Zn(G) denote the group algebra of G over the integers modulo n. If δi(G) denotes ith power of the augmentation ideal δ(G) of Zn(G), then

is easily seen to be a normal subgroup of G. It is denoted by Di, n(G) and is called ith dimension subgroup of G modulo n. It can be shown that these dimension subgroups are determined by the dimension subgroups modulo a power of a prime p. Hence we shall restrict our attention to these dimension subgroups.
