Abstract: Suppose that a group $G$ acts by aumorphisms on a (restricted) Lie algebra $L$ over a field $K$ of positive characteristic. This gives rise to smash products $U(L)\# K([G]$ and $u(L)\# K[G]$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for these smash products to satisfy a nontrivial polynomial identity.
