Basic lemmas about semigroups, monoids, and groups #
This file lists various basic lemmas about semigroups, monoids, and groups. Most proofs are
one-liners from the corresponding axioms. For the definitions of semigroups, monoids and groups, see

To show a property of all powers of g
it suffices to show it is closed under multiplication
by g
and g⁻¹
on the left. For subgroups generated by more than one element, see

To show a property of all multiples of g
it suffices to show it is closed under
addition by g
and -g
on the left. For additive subgroups generated by more than one element, see

If a binary function from a type equipped with a total relation r
to a monoid is
anti-symmetric (i.e. satisfies f a b * f b a = 1
), in order to show it is multiplicative
(i.e. satisfies f a c = f a b * f b c
), we may assume r a b
and r b c
are satisfied.
We allow restricting to a subset specified by a predicate p
