Topic: nilpotency → normalizer_condition

Hallelujah, after about a week, I managed to prove the first implication in the list of equivalent conditions for nilpotency that Kevin suggested I work on, namely is_nilpotent G → normalizer_condition G.
But there is so much ugliness in my beginner proofs, of course, both in how I use lean and in how I use the math. I guess I should clean it up as far as I can, create a PR, and learn as the mathlib community will review my 330 lines to 30 :-)

Is it preferred to submit helper lemmas, in particular those that would go into more basic lean files, one at a time?

Alex J. Best (Jan 21 2022 at 15:58):

One PR at a time might get a bit unwieldy, maybe groups of 5-10 would be a good number to review if you can find loose groups of somewhat related lemmas of that size

If there was a sensible lump of code that was, say, 50 lines then that might be a good initial PR for this work.

Also, congratulations and thanks. We need to fill all these gaps!
