are_conjugate

Description:

This symbol represents a boolean ternary function whose first argument is a group G and whose second and third arguments are elements x and y of G. Its value on G, x, and y is true if and only if x and y are conjugate in G.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
x and y are conjugate if and only if there is h in G such that x = h y h^(-1).
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
are_conjugate ( G , x , y ) h . h carrier ( G ) x = expression ( G , h y h -1 )

conjugacy_class

Description:

This symbol represents a binary function, whose first argument is a group G and whose second argument is an element x of G. Its value on G and x is the set of elements which are conjugate to x in G.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
The conjugacy class in G of h is the subset {g^(-1) h g | g in G} of G.
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
conjugacy_class ( G , h ) = { x carrier ( G ) | are_conjugate ( G , x , h ) }

left_coset

Description:

This symbol represents a ternary function whose first argument is a group G, whose second argument is a subgroup H of G, and whose third argument is an element x of G. Its value on G, H, and x is the left coset of H in G containing x, that is, the set x H.

right_coset

Description:

left_coset_representative

Description:

This symbol represents a quaternary function whose first argument is a group G, whose second argument is a subgroup H of G, whose third argument is left_transversal T of H in G, and whose fourth argument is an element of G. It assigns to G, H, T, g the element of t of T representing the left coset of H containing g, that is, t H = g H .
