Naturality of the monomial homomorphism #
Let φ : G →* G' be a group homomorphism, U ≤ G and U' ≤ G' subgroups, and
e : G ⧸ U ≃ G' ⧸ U' a bijection of coset spaces induced by φ, so that e ⟦g⟧ = ⟦φ g⟧. Such an
e exists exactly when U = U'.comap φ and every coset of U' meets the range of φ; then φ
restricts to a homomorphism ψ : U →* U'. The image φ '' s of a left transversal s of U is
a left transversal s' of U' (Subgroup.LeftTransversal.map, in
TauCeti/GroupTheory/TransversalWord.lean), whose representative of e x is
the image of the representative of x. The monomial homomorphisms of s and s' are related by
Φ_{s'} (φ g) = congr e (map ψ (Φ_s g)),
that is, φ applied to the transversal words in every coordinate, followed by relabeling the
coordinates along e (Subgroup.monomialHom_map).
The case that motivates this file is inflation: for a normal subgroup N contained in U, the
quotient map G → G ⧸ N induces the bijection G ⧸ U ≃ (G ⧸ N) ⧸ U.map (mk' N) of
QuotientGroup.quotientEquivQuotientMapOfLE, so the monomial homomorphism of the image of U in
G ⧸ N, evaluated on the class of g, is the image of the monomial homomorphism of U at g
(Subgroup.monomialHom_quotient). This is the group-level identity behind the compatibility of
Evens' multiplicative transfer with inflation.

Naturality of the monomial homomorphism. Let φ : G →* G' induce the bijection e of
coset spaces and restrict to ψ : U →* U'. The monomial homomorphism of the image transversal
s.map φ e he at φ g is the monomial homomorphism of s at g with ψ applied to its
coordinates and the coordinates relabeled along e.
The monomial homomorphism and inflation. For a normal subgroup N contained in U, the
monomial homomorphism of the image of U in G ⧸ N, for the image of a transversal s of U
and evaluated on the class of g, is the monomial homomorphism of s at g reduced modulo N
in every coordinate, with the cosets of U relabeled as those of its image by
QuotientGroup.quotientEquivQuotientMapOfLE.
