group_theory.exponent

Exponent of a group #

This file defines the exponent of a group, or more generally a monoid. For a group G it is defined to be the minimal n≥1 such that g ^ n = 1 for all g ∈ G. For a finite group G, it is equal to the lowest common multiple of the order of all elements of the group G.

Main definitions #

monoid.exponent_exists is a predicate on a monoid G saying that there is some positive n such that g ^ n = 1 for all g ∈ G.
monoid.exponent defines the exponent of a monoid G as the minimal positive n such that g ^ n = 1 for all g ∈ G, by convention it is 0 if no such n exists.
add_monoid.exponent_exists the additive version of monoid.exponent_exists.
add_monoid.exponent the additive version of monoid.exponent.

Main results #

monoid.lcm_order_eq_exponent: For a finite left cancel monoid G, the exponent is equal to the finset.lcm of the order of its elements.
monoid.exponent_eq_supr_order_of('): For a commutative cancel monoid, the exponent is equal to ⨆ g : G, order_of g (or zero if it has any order-zero elements).

TODO #

Refactor the characteristic of a ring to be the exponent of its underlying additive group.
