Abstract: The complexity of a module is an important homological invariant that measures the polynomial rate of growth of its minimal projective resolution. For the symmetric group $Sigm{a}_n$, the Lie module $mathsfLie(n)$ has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years. We prove here that the complexity of $mathsfLie(n)$ in characteristic $p$ is $t$ where $p^t$ is the largest power of $p$ dividing $n$, thus proving a conjecture of Erdmann, Lim and Tan. The proof uses work of Arone and Kankaanrinta which describes the homology $$ and earlier work of Hemmer and Nakano on complexity for modules over $Sigm{a}_n$ that involves restriction to Young subgroups.
