Vertical line test for group homs #
This file proves the vertical line test for monoid homomorphisms/isomorphisms.
Let f : G → H × I be a homomorphism to a product of monoids. Assume that f is surjective on the
first factor and that the image of f intersects every "vertical line" {(h, i) | i : I} at most
once. Then the image of f is the graph of some monoid homomorphism f' : H → I.
Furthermore, if f is also surjective on the second factor and its image intersects every
"horizontal line" {(h, i) | h : H} at most once, then f' is actually an isomorphism
f' : H ≃ I.
We also prove specialised versions when f is the inclusion of a subgroup of the direct product.
(The version for general homomorphisms can easily be reduced to this special case, but the
homomorphism version is more flexible in applications.)
