Lattice structure of subgroups

We prove subgroups of a group form a complete lattice.

There are also theorems about the subgroups generated by an element or a subset of a group, defined both inductively and as the infimum of the set of subgroups containing a given element/subset.

Special thanks goes to Amelia Livingston and Yury Kudryashov for their help and inspiration.

Main definitions

Notation used here:

• G is a Group

• k is a set of elements of type G

Definitions in the file:

• CompleteLattice (Subgroup G) : the subgroups of G form a complete lattice

• Subgroup.closure k : the minimal subgroup that includes the set k

• Subgroup.gi : closure forms a Galois insertion with the coercion to set

Implementation notes

Subgroup inclusion is denoted ≤ rather than ⊆, although ∈ is defined as membership of a subgroup's underlying set.
