Idea

A subgroup H of G is said to be trivial if it only contains the unit element of G.

Definitions

Trivial subgroups

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level} (G : Group l1) (H : Subgroup l2 G)
  where

  is-trivial-Subgroup : UU (l1 ⊔ l2)
  is-trivial-Subgroup =
    (x : type-Group G) → is-in-Subgroup G H x → x ＝ unit-Group G

The trivial subgroup

module _
  {l1 : Level} (G : Group l1)
  where

  trivial-Subgroup : Subgroup l1 G
  pr1 trivial-Subgroup x = is-unit-group-Prop G x
  pr1 (pr2 trivial-Subgroup) = refl
  pr1 (pr2 (pr2 trivial-Subgroup)) .(unit-Group G) .(unit-Group G) refl refl =
    left-unit-law-mul-Group G (unit-Group G)
  pr2 (pr2 (pr2 trivial-Subgroup)) .(unit-Group G) refl =
    inv-unit-Group G
