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.

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

An induction principle for closure membership. If p holds for 1 and all elements of k, and
is preserved under multiplication and inverse, then p holds for all elements of the closure
of k.
See also Subgroup.closure_induction_left and Subgroup.closure_induction_right for versions that
only require showing p is preserved by multiplication by elements in k.
An induction principle for additive closure membership. If p
holds for 0 and all elements of k, and is preserved under addition and inverses, then p
holds for all elements of the additive closure of k.
See also AddSubgroup.closure_induction_left and AddSubgroup.closure_induction_left for
versions that only require showing p is preserved by addition by elements in k.
