Topic: Composition Series for Groups wrt Normal subgroup
Johannes Choo (Mar 05 2025 at 09:40):
I found the analogous theory for modules, https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Mathlib/RingTheory/SimpleModule/Basic.html .
It is an instance of an abstraction in https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Mathlib/Order/JordanHolder.html
so I'd like to contribute a parallel development for groups in this file if it's indeed missing https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Mathlib/GroupTheory/Subgroup/Simple.html
Note: previous discussion that I could find #maths > Jordan Hölder theorem

@Thomas Browning probably knows best...

TODO
Provide instances of
[JordanHolderLattice](https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Mathlib/Order/JordanHolder.html#JordanHolderLattice)
for subgroups, and potentially for modular lattices.
I improved my reading comprehension and am a bit more convinced it doesn't exist yet XD

@Chris Hughes was the one working on this, but I suspect that you're right and we don't have Jordan-Holder for subgroups yet.
Chris Hughes (Mar 05 2025 at 18:00):
My memory of this is that the proof of Jordan-Holder currently in the library should apply to groups as long as you can prove they form a JordanHolderLattice
, but I have a feeling that there is a little bit of content to this and it won't be as easy as for modules.
