group_theory.perm.subgroup

Lemmas about subgroups within the permutations (self-equivalences) of a type α #

This file provides extra lemmas about some subgroups that exist within equiv.perm α. group_theory.subgroup depends on group_theory.perm.basic, so these need to be in a separate file.

It also provides decidable instances on membership in these subgroups, since monoid_hom.decidable_mem_range cannot be inferred without the help of a lambda. The presence of these instances induces a fintype instance on the quotient_group.quotient of these subgroups.

Cayley's theorem: Every group G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group acting on G. Note that we generalize this to an arbitrary "faithful" group action by G. Setting H = G recovers the usual statement of Cayley's theorem via right_cancel_monoid.to_has_faithful_scalar
