Let G be a finite p-group of nilpotency class less than p-1, and let L be the Lie ring corresponding to G via the Lazard correspondence. We show that the Schur multipliers of G and L are isomorphic as abelian groups and that every Schur cover of G is in Lazard correspondence with a Schur cover of L. Further, we show that the epicenters of G and L are isomorphic as abelian groups. Thus the group G is capable if and only if the Lie ring L is capable.
