Topic: Commutator subgroup (aka Derived subgroup)
Antoine Chambert-Loir (Aug 18 2023 at 11:00):
For Group G
, the derived subgroup (or commutator subgroup) is the Subgroup G
generated by all commutators of elements of G
. It can be obtained either by
_root_.commutator G
, Subgroup.commutator (G := (⊤ : Subgroup G))
, or even derivedSeries G 1
.
The third way rewrites (using simp
) to the first one, but the first one is not easy to use under open Subgroup
.
Could Subgroup.commutator
be protect
ed?
Or could _root_.commutator
be renamed as Commutator
?

docs#commutator, docs#Subgroup.commutator

docs#Subgroup.commutator should be renamed to Subgroup.instBracket
in my opinion

(note it was automatically protected
in Lean 3 due to being an instance)
