Abstract
It has been an open question for many years whether the associated Lie ring of a relatively free group is necessarily relatively free (see, for exampl e, [15]). We answer this question in the negative by proving that the varie ty B4B2 has Lie relators which are not identical Lie relators. (C) 1999 Aca demic Press.
