This all looks great. I've made suggestions, but nothing is a deal-breaker.

My personal preference is for π (for projection), echoing ι (for inclusion), but I won't fight for it...
... maybe I should?

I've got no strong feeling here

I noted that every time I used normal it was under sym

This felt like a good reason to reverse it

Can simplify this to:

I'd maybe be tempted to lift this out to Algebra.Construct.Quotient.AbelianGroup to bundle up the quotient-out-of-any-subgroup construction, and simplify the downstream imports in #2855 ?

Twofold reasons:

  • Subsequently, for Ring R / Ideal I, you also define project-isHomomorphism : IsRingHomomorphism, and maybe that's enough (let the X path context of the algebra determine what kind of IsXHomomorphism is defined
  • BUT, for Ring, what you actually need is to separate out the isMonoidHomomorphism field, so why not also isGroupHomomorphism?

Unsurprisingly, these proofs are definitionally equal to the previous versions, but put ≈⇒≋ ('abstract' reflexivity...) higher up the food chain.
