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 #

@[simp]
theorem TauCeti.mem_conj_smul {G : Type u_1} [Group G] (s : G) (H : Subgroup G) (x : G) :
x MulAut.conj s H s⁻¹ * x * s H

Membership in sHs⁻¹, in the conjugation convention MulAut.conj s • H.

theorem TauCeti.conj_one_smul {G : Type u_1} [Group G] (H : Subgroup G) :

Conjugating a subgroup by 1 leaves it unchanged.

theorem TauCeti.conj_mul_smul {G : Type u_1} [Group G] (s t : G) (H : Subgroup G) :

Conjugating a subgroup by s * t is conjugating by t and then by s.

theorem TauCeti.conj_inv_smul_smul {G : Type u_1} [Group G] (s : G) (H : Subgroup G) :

Conjugating a subgroup by s⁻¹ undoes conjugating it by s.
