[6, 14996] finitely based

groupcommutativeself-dualfamily proof

[6, 14996] is the cyclic group of order six. It is finitely based: 2 identities define its variety, which no other semigroup of order six generates.

Identity basis

Shortest known basis: 2 identities irredundant

  1. xy ≈ yx
  2. x ≈ xy⁶

Irredundant: none of these identities follows from the others; for each, a semigroup satisfies the others but not it. Obtained from a basis certified in Lean by removing identities that follow from the others, with the prover Vampire; the equivalence rests on Vampire's proofs, not on Lean. Shortest known, not known to be minimal.

Basis certified in Lean: 2 identities

Lean proof

Endpoint theorem: SemigroupBasis.CoRoots.Order6CyclicSix.basis_complete

BasisFor CoRoots.Order6CyclicSix.table.semigroup CoRoots.Order6CyclicSix.basis
Table
The theorem is about the semigroup with exactly this table.
Method
family proof. One basis is proved once to derive every identity of every semigroup of a family; on each table only the identities of the basis are checked, by computation.
Size
Checking this class alone compiles 7 Lean files with 1,759 lines: the endpoint theorem and everything it imports, the shared library included. Of these, 595 lines are used by the proof of this class and of no other.
Census
SemiBase.Census.S6_14996 checks that the theorem is about the table of this class and concludes Classified; SemiBase.Catalogue.Order6.S6_14996 is the table, with the elements numbered 0 to 5.

Variety

[6, 14996] generates the variety V[14996]; no other semigroup of order six generates it, and 1 semigroup of order six lies in it. [6, 14996] lies in 7 of the 505 varieties of the census, those whose basis it satisfies.
