Iff.rflProof. Work with open normal subgroups and finite quotients of the profinite or pro-\(C\) group. Finite quotients separate points, and continuous homomorphisms are determined by their compatible quotient-level maps. Kernel and image statements are verified after quotienting by sufficiently small open normal subgroups, where they become ordinary finite group calculations. Compatibility under refinement then assembles the finite-quotient data and proves the required profinite or pro-\(C\) statement. The quotient-level assertions are stable under passing to smaller open normal subgroups, so they define compatible data in the inverse system of finite quotients. For pro-\(C\) permanence, the construction uses only operations for which the chosen finite group class is closed. Hence the finite verification assembles to the desired profinite map, subgroup, or quotient statement. For categorical constructions such as products, pullbacks, and inverse limits, the universal property is checked by composing with the coordinate projections. The uniqueness part follows because any two candidate maps with the same finite quotient composites have the same value on every separating finite quotient. Existence is obtained by assembling the compatible coordinate maps supplied by the finite quotient construction. For quotient and subgroup claims, representatives are chosen in the ambient group and the induced map is checked to send the class of an element to the class of its image. Normality, openness, and membership in the finite quotient class are preserved by the subgroup, quotient, intersection, or inverse-image closure property being invoked. For pro-\(C\) claims, the finite quotient obtained from the construction remains in \(C\) by the relevant closure axiom, such as closure under subgroups, quotients, finite products, or extensions. The universal or lifting property is then checked on the prescribed generators, and uniqueness follows because the generators are dense or topologically generating.

For equivalence and homeomorphism statements, the two comparison maps are composed in both orders and evaluated on the coordinates that determine the source. Each composite reduces to the identity transition or to the chosen representative identity on finite stages, so the algebraic inverse laws and the topological inverse laws follow simultaneously.

Finite quotients separate points, and continuous homomorphisms are determined by their compatible quotient-level maps. For pro-\(C\) claims, the resulting finite quotients lie in \(C\) by the closure property used in the construction: closure under quotients, subgroups, finite products, or extensions. Compatibility under refinement then assembles the finite-quotient data and proves the required profinite or pro-\(C\) statement. The quotient-level assertions are stable under passing to smaller open normal subgroups, so they define compatible data in the inverse system of finite quotients.

Normality, openness, and membership in the finite quotient class are preserved by the subgroup, quotient, intersection, or inverse-image closure property being invoked. Functoriality and naturality are proved by comparing the two composites after projection to an arbitrary target stage. The source stage is the pullback or refined quotient required by the construction, and both composites are induced by the same quotient homomorphism together with the same coefficient map; hence the coordinate maps agree and so do the completed maps.

The uniqueness part follows because any two candidate maps with the same finite quotient composites have the same value on every separating finite quotient. Existence is obtained by assembling the compatible coordinate maps supplied by the finite quotient construction. Exactness is checked by separating injectivity, kernel containment, and image containment. Injectivity is either coordinatewise injectivity or the injectivity of a subtype inclusion; the kernel-to-image direction is obtained by packaging an element with the required vanishing proof, while the reverse direction is obtained by applying the next boundary or augmentation map and simplifying the defining relation. For quotient and subgroup claims, representatives are chosen in the ambient group and the induced map is checked to send the class of an element to the class of its image. Normality, openness, and membership in the finite quotient class are preserved by the subgroup, quotient, intersection, or inverse-image closure property being invoked.

Finite quotients separate points, and continuous homomorphisms are determined by their compatible quotient-level maps. Closed-subgroup and subgroup-permanence claims use ambient open-normal approximation: an open normal subgroup of the closed subgroup is refined by the intersection with an ambient open normal subgroup of \(G\). Continuity is checked by composing with all finite quotient projections; each composite is a continuous map between finite or profinite quotient spaces. Compatibility under refinement then assembles the finite-quotient data and proves the required profinite or pro-\(C\) statement. The quotient-level assertions are stable under passing to smaller open normal subgroups, so they define compatible data in the inverse system of finite quotients. For pro-\(C\) permanence, the construction uses only operations for which the chosen finite group class is closed. Hence the finite verification assembles to the desired profinite map, subgroup, or quotient statement. For categorical constructions such as products, pullbacks, and inverse limits, the universal property is checked by composing with the coordinate projections. The uniqueness part follows because any two candidate maps with the same finite quotient composites have the same value on every separating finite quotient. Existence is obtained by assembling the compatible coordinate maps supplied by the finite quotient construction. The topological assertion is checked by the initial topology of the inverse limit. After composing with each finite-stage projection, the relevant map is a continuous finite-stage homomorphism or an operation on a finite product; compactness, Hausdorffness, total disconnectedness, and profiniteness are then inherited from the finite stages by the standard inverse-limit argument.

(by simpa [centralizer] using Set.isClosed_centralizer (M := G) T)Proof. Work with open normal subgroups and finite quotients of the profinite or pro-\(C\) group. Finite quotients separate points, and continuous homomorphisms are determined by their compatible quotient-level maps. Closed-subgroup and subgroup-permanence claims use ambient open-normal approximation: an open normal subgroup of the closed subgroup is refined by the intersection with an ambient open normal subgroup of \(G\). Continuity is checked by composing with all finite quotient projections; each composite is a continuous map between finite or profinite quotient spaces. Compatibility under refinement then assembles the finite-quotient data and proves the required profinite or pro-\(C\) statement. The quotient-level assertions are stable under passing to smaller open normal subgroups, so they define compatible data in the inverse system of finite quotients. For pro-\(C\) permanence, the construction uses only operations for which the chosen finite group class is closed. Hence the finite verification assembles to the desired profinite map, subgroup, or quotient statement. For categorical constructions such as products, pullbacks, and inverse limits, the universal property is checked by composing with the coordinate projections. The uniqueness part follows because any two candidate maps with the same finite quotient composites have the same value on every separating finite quotient. Existence is obtained by assembling the compatible coordinate maps supplied by the finite quotient construction. The topological assertion is checked by the initial topology of the inverse limit. After composing with each finite-stage projection, the relevant map is a continuous finite-stage homomorphism or an operation on a finite product; compactness, Hausdorffness, total disconnectedness, and profiniteness are then inherited from the finite stages by the standard inverse-limit argument.
