# Eckmann-Hilton argument #

The Eckmann-Hilton argument says that if a type carries two monoid structures that distribute over one another, then they are equal, and in addition commutative. The main application lies in proving that higher homotopy groups (πₙ for n ≥ 2≥ 2) are commutative.

## Main declarations #

• EckmannHilton.commMonoid: If a type carries a unital magma structure that distributes over a unital binary operation, then the magma is a commutative monoid.
• EckmannHilton.commGroup: If a type carries a group structure that distributes over a unital binary operation, then the group is commutative.
structure EckmannHilton.IsUnital {X : Type u} (m : XXX) (e : X) extends , :

IsUnital m e expresses that e : X is a left and right unit for the binary operation m : X → X → X→ X → X→ X.

If a type carries two unital binary operations that distribute over each other, then they have the same unit elements.

In fact, the two operations are the same, and give a commutative monoid structure, see eckmann_hilton.CommMonoid.

m₁ = m₂

If a type carries two unital binary operations that distribute over each other, then these operations are equal.

In fact, they give a commutative monoid structure, see eckmann_hilton.CommMonoid.

If a type carries two unital binary operations that distribute over each other, then these operations are commutative.
