Cyclic groups #
A group G
is called cyclic if there exists an element g : G
such that every element of G
is of
the form g ^ n
for some n : ℕ
. This file only deals with the predicate on a group to be cyclic.
For the concrete cyclic group of order n
, see Data.ZMod.Basic
.
Main definitions #
IsCyclic
is a predicate on a group stating that the group is cyclic.

classify finite simple abelian groups.IsCyclic.exponent_eq_card
: For a finite cyclic groupG
, the exponent is equal to the group's cardinality.IsCyclic.exponent_eq_zero_of_infinite
: Infinite cyclic groups have exponent zero.IsCyclic.iff_exponent_eq_card
: A finite commutative group is cyclic iff its exponent is equal to its cardinality.

cyclic group
A cyclic group is always commutative. This is not an instance
because often we have
a better proof of AddCommGroup
.

Groups with a given generator #
We state some results in terms of an explicitly given generator.
The generating property is given as in IsCyclic.exists_generator
.
The main statements are about the existence and uniqueness of homomorphisms and isomorphisms specified by the image of the given generator.
If g
generates the group G
and g'
is an element of another group G'
whose order
divides that of g
, then there is a homomorphism G →* G'
mapping g
to g'
.

If g
generates the additive group G
