Cyclic groups #

A group G is called cyclic if there exists an element g : G such that every element of G is of the form g ^ n for some n : ℕ. This file only deals with the predicate on a group to be cyclic. For the concrete cyclic group of order n, see data.zmod.basic.

Main definitions #

is_cyclic is a predicate on a group stating that the group is cyclic.

Main statements #

is_cyclic_of_prime_card proves that a finite group of prime order is cyclic.
is_simple_group_of_prime_card, is_simple_group.is_cyclic, and is_simple_group.prime_card classify finite simple abelian groups.
is_cyclic.exponent_eq_card: For a finite cyclic group G, the exponent is equal to the group's cardinality.
is_cyclic.exponent_eq_zero_of_infinite: Infinite cyclic groups have exponent zero.
is_cyclic.iff_exponent_eq_card: A finite commutative group is cyclic iff its exponent is equal to its cardinality.
