The Iwasawa criterion for simplicity
IwasawaStructure
: the structure underlying the Iwasawa criterion For a groupG
, this consists of an action ofG
on a typeα
and, for everya : α
, of a subgroupT a
, such that the following properties hold:- for all
a
,T a
is commutative - for all
g : G
anda : α
,T (g • a) = MulAut.conj g • T a
- the subgroups
T a
generateG
We then prove two versions of the Iwasawa criterion when there is an Iwasawa structure.
- for all
IwasawaStructure.commutator_le
asserts that if the action ofG
onα
is quasiprimitive, then every normal subgroup that acts nontrivially containscommutator G
IwasawaStructure.isSimpleGroup
: the Iwasawa criterion for simplicity If the action ofG
onα
is quasiprimitive and faithful, andG
is nontrivial and perfect, thenG
is simple.
