Properties of group actions involving quotient groups #

This file proves properties of group actions which use the quotient group construction, notably

as well as their analogues for additive groups.

class MulAction.QuotientAction {α : Type u} (β : Type v) [Group α] [Monoid β] [MulAction β α] (H : Subgroup α) :

A typeclass for when a MulAction β α descends to the quotient α ⧸ H.

  • inv_mul_mem (b : β) {a a' : α} : a⁻¹ * a' H → (b a)⁻¹ * b a' H

    The action fulfils a normality condition on products that lie in H. This ensures that the action descends to an action on the quotient α ⧸ H.

Instances
    class AddAction.QuotientAction {α : Type u} (β : Type v) [AddGroup α] [AddMonoid β] [AddAction β α] (H : AddSubgroup α) :

    A typeclass for when an AddAction β α descends to the quotient α ⧸ H.

    • inv_mul_mem (b : β) {a a' : α} : -a + a' H-(b +ᵥ a) + (b +ᵥ a') H

      The action fulfils a normality condition on summands that lie in H. This ensures that the action descends to an action on the quotient α ⧸ H.
