Exercise 5, § 5

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, II, 196

Let Γ=Γ(X)\Gamma = \Gamma(X) be the Magnus group on XX and let (Γn)(\Gamma_n) be its natural filtration (no. 2). Show that the graded Lie algebra gr(Γ)\mathrm{gr}(\Gamma) corresponding to this filtration is isomorphic to the Lie subalgebra ⨁n≥1An(X)\bigoplus_{n \geq 1} A_n(X) of A(X)A(X). If X≠∅X \neq \emptyset, this Lie algebra is not generated by its elements of degree 1; deduce that (Γn)(\Gamma_n) is not the lower central series of Γ\Gamma.
