class IsSimpleGroup (G : Type u_1) [Group G] extends Nontrivial G : Prop

A Group is simple when it has exactly two normal Subgroups.

• exists_pair_ne : ∃ (x : G) (y : G), x ≠ y
• eq_bot_or_eq_top_of_normal (H : Subgroup G) : H.Normal → H = ⊥ ∨ H = ⊤

  Any normal subgroup is either ⊥ or ⊤

class IsSimpleAddGroup (A : Type u_2) [AddGroup A] extends Nontrivial A : Prop

An AddGroup is simple when it has exactly two normal AddSubgroups.

• exists_pair_ne : ∃ (x : A) (y : A), x ≠ y
• eq_bot_or_eq_top_of_normal (H : AddSubgroup A) : H.Normal → H = ⊥ ∨ H = ⊤

  Any normal additive subgroup is either ⊥ or ⊤
