Defining a group given by generators and relations

Given a subset rels of relations of the free group on a type α, this file constructs the group given by generators x : α and relations r ∈ rels.

Main definitions

• PresentedGroup rels: the quotient group of the free group on a type α by a subset rels of relations of the free group on α.
• of: The canonical map from α to a presented group with generators α.
• toGroup f: the canonical group homomorphism PresentedGroup rels → G, given a function f : α → G from a type α to a group G which satisfies the relations rels.
