Orthogonal groups of finite quadratic modules #
The orthogonal group O(A) of a finite quadratic module consists of its additive automorphisms
preserving the quadratic map. This file specializes the general quadratic-map orthogonal group to
finite quadratic modules and records its action on the underlying module and its isotropic and
Lagrangian subgroups. The imported generic orthogonal-group API transports this group across
isometries of finite quadratic modules, and QuadraticMap.orthogonalGroupEquivIsometryEquiv
identifies its underlying type with the type Isometry A A of self-isometries of A.
These actions are the group-theoretic interface used when discriminant-form automorphisms act on gluing data and primitive embeddings.

Instances For
The orthogonal group of a finite quadratic module is finite.
The action of O(A) on A preserves the quadratic map.
Pointwise transport of an additive subgroup by an element of O(A) is its image under the
corresponding self-isometry.

The orthogonal group preserves quadratic Lagrangian subgroups.
The action of the orthogonal group commutes with taking the orthogonal complement for the polar pairing.
