The Iwasawa criterion for simplicity
IwasawaStructure: the structure underlying the Iwasawa criterion For a groupG, this consists of an action ofGon a typeαand, for everya : α, of a subgroupT a, such that the following properties hold:- for all
a,T ais commutative - for all
g : Ganda : α,T (g • a) = MulAut.conj g • T a - the subgroups
T agenerateGWe then prove two versions of the Iwasawa criterion when there is an Iwasawa structure.
- for all
IwasawaStructure.commutator_leasserts that if the action ofGonαis quasiprimitive, then every normal subgroup that acts nontrivially containscommutator GIwasawaStructure.isSimpleGroup: the Iwasawa criterion for simplicity If the action ofGonαis quasiprimitive and faithful, andGis nontrivial and perfect, thenGis simple.
