The commutator subgroup is perfect for n at least five (Theorem 2.7 (ii))

For n at least five, the commutator subgroup of the multi-welded twin group is perfect: the derived subgroup of the derived subgroup is the whole derived subgroup. The rigidity of the universal welded framework descends to the involutive quotient, and every commutator of two elements of the commutator subgroup is again a product of commutators of elements of the commutator subgroup. This is Theorem 2.7 (ii) of the paper.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

Restate: in a multi-welded twin world with at least five strands, the derived subgroup of the derived subgroup of the group equals the whole derived subgroup. Hypotheses: the world is given; the number of strands is at least five; no further hypotheses appear.
