Variable H : Ensemble U.
Variable H_inhabited : Inhabited U H.
Variable H_included_in_G : Included U H G.
Variable stability : endo_operation U H star.
Variable H_Finite : Finite U H.
Let h : forall x y : U, In U H x -> In U H y -> In U H (star x y).
Hint Resolve h.
Definition phi (a : U) (n : nat) : U := exp (pos n) a.

Lemma powers_repeat :
forall (a : U) (n m : nat),
In U G a -> phi a n = phi a (S (S (n + m))) -> phi a m = inv a.
