Proof of the Schur-Zassenhaus theorem #

In this section, we prove the Schur-Zassenhaus theorem. The proof is by contradiction. We assume that G is a minimal counterexample to the theorem.

We will arrive at a contradiction via the following steps:

theorem subgroup.schur_zassenhaus_induction.step7 {G : Type u} [group G] [fintype G] {N : subgroup G} [N.normal] (h1 : (fintype.card N).coprime N.index) (h2 : ∀ (G' : Type u) [_inst_4 : group G'] [_inst_5 : fintype G'], fintype.card G' < fintype.card G∀ {N' : subgroup G'} [_inst_6 : N'.normal], (fintype.card N').coprime N'.index(∃ (H' : subgroup G'), N'.is_complement' H')) (h3 : ∀ (H : subgroup G), ¬N.is_complement' H) :

Schur-Zassenhaus for normal subgroups: If H : subgroup G is normal, and has order coprime to its index, then there exists a subgroup K which is a (right) complement of H.

∃ (H : subgroup G), N.is_complement' H

Schur-Zassenhaus for normal subgroups: If H : subgroup G is normal, and has order coprime to its index, then there exists a subgroup K which is a (right) complement of H.

Schur-Zassenhaus for normal subgroups: If H : subgroup G is normal, and has order coprime to its index, then there exists a subgroup K which is a (left) complement of H.

Schur-Zassenhaus for normal subgroups: If H : subgroup G is normal, and has order coprime to its index, then there exists a subgroup K which is a (left) complement of H.
