Elementary facts about the abelianization #
Conjugate elements have the same image in the abelianization (Abelianization.of_inv_mul_mul),
and written additively, the abelianization map sends products to sums in either order
(Abelianization.ofMul_of_add_ofMul_of). An element has trivial image exactly when it lies in
the commutator subgroup (Abelianization.of_eq_one_iff), so the abelianization map of a
commutative group is injective (Abelianization.of_injective), and isomorphisms out of an
abelianization are determined by their values on classes (Abelianization.mulEquiv_ext).
Every element of the additive abelianization is the class of a group element
(Abelianization.exists_eq_ofMul_of). The abelianization of a product of two groups is the
product of their abelianizations (Abelianization.prodMulEquiv).
Written additively, the abelianization map sends the product q * p to the sum of the images
of p and q.
An element has trivial image in the abelianization exactly when it is in the commutator subgroup.
Written additively, every element of the abelianization is the class of a group element.
The abelianization map of a commutative group is injective.
The abelianization of a product of two groups is the product of their abelianizations:
the class of (g, h) corresponds to the pair of the classes of g and h.
