Solvable Groups #
In this file we introduce the notion of a solvable group. We define a solvable group as one whose derived series is eventually trivial. This requires defining the commutator of two subgroups and the derived series of a group.
Main definitions #
derived_series G n: thenth term in the derived series ofG, defined by iteratinggeneral_commutatorstarting with the top subgroupis_solvable G: the groupGis solvable
The derived series of the group G, obtained by starting from the subgroup ⊤ and repeatedly
taking the commutator of the previous subgroup with itself for n times.

- solvable : ∃ (n : ℕ), derived_series G n = ⊥
A group G is solvable if its derived series is eventually trivial. We use this definition
because it's the most convenient one to work with.
