The norm of a finite group action #
The norm TauCeti.groupNorm G M sums the scalar translates of an element of an additive
commutative monoid. Its definition needs only distributive scalar multiplication by the finite
scalar type. For a finite normal subgroup of a group acting on M, the norm commutes with the
ambient action and is bundled as the equivariant additive map TauCeti.groupNormHom.
For a finite cyclic group generated by g, TauCeti.groupNorm_eq_sum_range expresses the norm
as the sum over 1, g, …, gⁿ⁻¹, where n = orderOf g. This formula applies without a ring of
scalars or a representation.
The group norm, m ↦ ∑ x, x • m, as an additive homomorphism. It needs only a finite
scalar type and distributive scalar multiplication on an additive commutative monoid.
Instances For
Applying the group norm sums the scalar translates of the argument.
The norm of a finite normal subgroup N of G commutes with the action of G: conjugation
by g permutes N.
The norm of a finite normal subgroup N of G, as a G-equivariant additive endomorphism
of M (TauCeti.groupNorm_smul).
Instances For
The equivariant norm groupNormHom N M is the group norm of N.
The norm of a finite cyclic group is the sum of the translates by powers of a generator. Only distributive scalar multiplication on an additive commutative monoid is required.
