Cardinal form of the Schreier rank transform for an open subgroup of finite index \(n\). For finite rank this is the usual Schreier transform \(1+n(d-1)\). For infinite cardinals the finite-index transform stabilizes at the original cardinal.

    schreierRankTransformCardinal (d : Cardinal) n =
      (_root_.ReidemeisterSchreier.Schreier.rankTransform d n : Cardinal)

On a finite cardinal, the cardinal Schreier transform agrees with the usual natural-number formula.

A finite-index Schreier transform fixes every infinite cardinal.

    schreierRankTransformCardinal (Cardinal.mk X) n =
      (_root_.ReidemeisterSchreier.Schreier.rankTransform (Nat.card X) n : Cardinal)

For a finite input cardinal, the Schreier rank-transform cardinal is the corresponding finite Schreier value.

@[simp 900] theorem schreierRankTransformCardinal_mk_infinite (X : Type u) [Infinite X] (n : ℕ) :
    schreierRankTransformCardinal (Cardinal.mk X) n = Cardinal.mk X

For an infinite input cardinal, the finite-index Schreier rank transform is the same infinite cardinal.

An open subgroup of a finitely generated profinite group satisfies the usual Schreier bound on the minimal number of topological generators.
