automorphismsinvolutionsvirtual-braids

The automorphisms theta and zeta_1, ..., zeta_k of the universal virtual braid group are mutually commuting involutions. Each zeta_l fixes the virtual generators, sends the l-th sigma family to its conjugate by the adjacent virtual generator, and fixes the other sigma families; theta inverts every sigma generator and fixes the virtual generators. Each automorphism is its own inverse, theta commutes with every zeta_l, and the zeta_l commute pairwise. This is the involution part of Theorem 2.1 of the paper.

Formal statement
namespace FRV

/-!  Milestone 1 (Theorem 2.1, involutions): the automorphisms theta and
zeta_1, ..., zeta_k of the universal virtual braid group are commuting
involutions. Each zeta_l fixes the virtual generators, sends the l-th
sigma family to its conjugate rho_i sigma_(i,l) rho_i, and fixes the other
families; theta inverts every sigma generator; the compositions are
mutually commuting involutions. -/

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

Restate: in a forbidden-relations world, the automorphism theta is an involution, each of the k automorphisms zeta is an involution, theta commutes with each zeta, and the zeta commute pairwise. Hypotheses: the world is given; no further hypotheses appear.
