Conjugating a subgroup by a group element #
Mathlib writes the conjugate sHs⁻¹ of a subgroup H of a group G as the pointwise scalar
action MulAut.conj s • H. This file records the membership criterion for that subgroup and the
two laws making s ↦ MulAut.conj s • (-) an action of G on the subgroups of G.
Subgroup.mem_pointwise_smul_iff_inv_smul_mem fixes the orientation: membership of x in
MulAut.conj s • H is s⁻¹ * x * s ∈ H, so MulAut.conj s • H is sHs⁻¹ and not s⁻¹Hs.
TauCeti.mem_conj_smul pins that reading in the form the conjugate representation
(TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Induction.Conjugate) and the Mackey subgroup
(TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Induction.Mackey.Subgroup) consume, so neither can be silently
orientation-reversed.
Main statements #
TauCeti.mem_conj_smul: membership insHs⁻¹iss⁻¹ * x * s ∈ H.TauCeti.conj_one_smul,TauCeti.conj_mul_smul,TauCeti.conj_inv_smul_smul: conjugation of subgroups is an action ofG.
Membership in sHs⁻¹, in the conjugation convention MulAut.conj s • H.
Conjugating a subgroup by 1 leaves it unchanged.
Conjugating a subgroup by s * t is conjugating by t and then by s.
Conjugating a subgroup by s⁻¹ undoes conjugating it by s.
