This file defines corners, namely triples of the form (x, y), (x, y + d), (x + d, y), and the property of being corner-free.

structure IsCorner {G : Type u_1} [AddCommMonoid G] (A : Set (G × G)) (x₁ y₁ x₂ y₂ : G) : Prop

A corner of a set A in an abelian group is a triple of points of the form (x, y), (x + d, y), (x, y + d). It is nontrivial if d ≠ 0.

Here we define it as triples (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₁), (x₁, y₂) where x₁ + y₂ = x₂ + y₁ in order for the definition to make sense in commutative monoids, the motivating example being ℕ.

• fst_fst_mem : (x₁, y₁) ∈ A
• fst_snd_mem : (x₁, y₂) ∈ A
• snd_fst_mem : (x₂, y₁) ∈ A
• add_eq_add : x₁ + y₂ = x₂ + y₁

theorem isCorner_iff {G : Type u_1} [AddCommMonoid G] (A : Set (G × G)) (x₁ y₁ x₂ y₂ : G) : IsCorner A x₁ y₁ x₂ y₂ ↔ (x₁, y₁) ∈ A ∧ (x₁, y₂) ∈ A ∧ (x₂, y₁) ∈ A ∧ x₁ + y₂ = x₂ + y₁

def IsCornerFree {G : Type u_1} [AddCommMonoid G] (A : Set (G × G)) : Prop

A corner-free set in an abelian group is a set containing no non-trivial corner.
