Suppose a profinite group GGG acts transitively and with closed point stabilizers on some nonempty set Ω\OmegaΩ and that H≤GH\leq GH≤G supplements some abelian N⊴GN\trianglelefteq GN⊴G. If for each prime ppp, a Sylow ppp-subgroup of HHH fixes an element of Ω\OmegaΩ, then HHH fixes an element of Ω\OmegaΩ.

Preamble

/-
Proposition 4.2: an arbitrary transitive action on a nonempty set, with
closed stabilizers. The abelian normal subgroup need not act transitively.

This is an open draft target. The deliberate `sorry` is the target proof hole;
all definitions and the structural proofs on which the statement rests compile
without admitted proofs.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · GPT-6 family (exact model variant not exposed)

For every profinite group GGG in universe uuu, every nonempty set Ω\OmegaΩ in universe vvv with a GGG-action, and closed subgroups N,H≤GN,H\le GN,H≤G, suppose that NNN is normal in GGG and has commutative multiplication, and that every element of GGG can be expressed as nhnhnh with n∈N,h∈Hn\in N,h\in Hn∈N,h∈H. Suppose that the action is transitive, meaning that for every x,y∈Ωx,y\in\Omegax,y∈Ω some g∈Gg\in Gg∈G satisfies g⋅x=yg\cdot x=yg⋅x=y, and that each stabilizer Gx={g∈G:g⋅x=x}G_x=\{g\in G:g\cdot x=x\}Gx​={g∈G:g⋅x=x} is closed in GGG. If for every natural prime ppp there exist a Sylow pro-ppp subgroup PpP_pPp​ of HHH and a point xp∈Ωx_p\in\Omegaxp​∈Ω fixed by all elements of PpP_pPp​, then there exists a point x∈Ωx\in\Omegax∈Ω fixed by every element of HHH. A Sylow pro-ppp subgroup PPP of a subgroup A≤GA\le GA≤G means a subgroup P≤AP\le AP≤A that is closed in GGG, for which every quotient P/UP/UP/U by an open normal subgroup of PPP has the property that every element is killed by some power pkp^kpk with k∈Nk\in\mathbb Nk∈N, and that is maximal under inclusion among the closed subgroups of GGG contained in AAA with this quotient property. The points and subgroups in the hypothesis may vary with ppp. No topology on Ω\OmegaΩ is specified, and there is no separately assumed continuity of its action beyond the closed-stabilizer condition. Empty Ω\OmegaΩ is excluded, but singleton Ω\OmegaΩ, trivial groups, and trivial Sylow subgroups are allowed. All primes are quantified, no finiteness of Ω\OmegaΩ or GGG is required, and the expression nhnhnh need not be unique.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
