Résumé

The quotients $G_k/G_{k+1}$ of the lower central series of a finitely presented group $G$ are an important invariant of this group. In this work we investigate the ranks of these quotients in the case of a certain class of conjugation-free groups, which are groups generated by $x_1,...,x_n$, and having only cyclic relations: $$ x_{i_t} x_{i_{t-1}} ... x_{i_1} = x_{i_{t-1}} ... x_{i_1} x_{i_t} = ... = x_{i_1} x_{i_t} ... x_{i_2}.$$ Using tools from group theory and from the theory of line arrangements we explicitly find these ranks, which depend only at the number and length of these cyclic relations. It follows that for these groups the associated graded Lie algebra $gr(G)$ decomposes, in any degree, as a direct product of local components.
