Basic lemmas about semigroups, monoids, and groups #
This file lists various basic lemmas about semigroups, monoids, and groups. Most proofs are
one-liners from the corresponding axioms. For the definitions of semigroups, monoids and groups, see

If a binary function from a type equipped with a total relation
r
to an additive monoid is anti-symmetric (i.e. satisfies f a b + f b a = 0
), in order to show
it is additive (i.e. satisfies f a c = f a b + f b c
), we may assume r a b
and r b c
are
satisfied. We allow restricting to a subset specified by a predicate p
.
If a binary function from a type equipped with a total relation r
to a monoid is
anti-symmetric (i.e. satisfies f a b * f b a = 1
), in order to show it is multiplicative
(i.e. satisfies f a c = f a b * f b c
), we may assume r a b
and r b c
are satisfied.
