<H2>GroupTheory -- Group Theory using Locales, including Sylow's Theorem</H2>

<P>This directory presents proofs about group theory, by
  | 
| 
 | 
     7  | 
Florian Kammüller.  (Later, Larry Paulson simplified some of the proofs.)
  |

These theories use locales and were indeed the original motivation for
  | 
| 
 | 
     9  | 
locales.  However, this treatment of groups must still be regarded as
  | 
| 
 | 
    10  | 
experimental.  We can expect to see refinements in the future.

Here is an outline of the directory's contents:

<LI>Theory <A HREF="Bij.thy"><CODE>Bij</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    16  | 
defines bijections over sets and operations on them and shows that they
  | 
| 
 | 
    17  | 
are a group.
  | 
| 
 | 
    18  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
    19  | 
<LI>Theory <A HREF="DirProd.thy"><CODE>DirProd</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    20  | 
defines the product of two groups and proves that it is a group again.
  | 
| 
 | 
    21  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
    22  | 
<LI>Theory <A HREF="FactGroup.thy"><CODE>FactGroup</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    23  | 
defines the factorization of a group and shows that the factorization a
  | 
| 
 | 
    24  | 
normal subgroup is a group.
  | 
| 
 | 
    25  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
    26  | 
<LI>Theory <A HREF="Homomorphism.thy"><CODE>Homomorphism</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    27  | 
defines homomorphims and automorphisms for groups and rings and shows that
  | 
| 
 | 
    28  | 
ring automorphisms are a group by using the previous result for
  | 
| 
 | 
    29  | 
bijections.
  |

<LI>Theory <A HREF="Ring.thy"><CODE>Ring</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    32  | 
and <A HREF="RingConstr.thy"><CODE>RingConstr</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    33  | 
defines rings, proves a few basic theorems and constructs a lambda
  | 
| 
 | 
    34  | 
function to extract the group that is part of the ring showing that it is
  | 
| 
 | 
    35  | 
an abelian group. 
  | 
| 
 | 
    36  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
    37  | 
<LI>Theory <A HREF="Sylow.thy"><CODE>Sylow</CODE></A>
  | 
| 
 | 
    38  | 
contains a proof of the first Sylow theorem.
