Ideals over a ring

This file defines Ideal R, the type of (left) ideals over a ring R. Note that over commutative rings, left ideals and two-sided ideals are equivalent.

Implementation notes

Ideal R is implemented using Submodule R R, where • is interpreted as *.

TODO

Support right ideals, and two-sided ideals over non-commutative rings.

abbrev Ideal (R : Type u) [Semiring R] : Type u

A (left) ideal in a semiring R is an additive submonoid s such that a * b ∈ s whenever b ∈ s. If R is a ring, then s is an additive subgroup.

Equations

• Ideal R = Submodule R R

def Module.eqIdeal (R : Type u_1) {M : Type u_2} [Semiring R] [AddCommMonoid M] [Module R M] (m m' : M) : Ideal R

For two elements m and m' in an R-module M, the set of elements r : R with equal scalar product with m and m' is an ideal of R. If M is a group, this coincides with the kernel of LinearMap.toSpanSingleton R M (m - m').

Equations

• Module.eqIdeal R m m' = { carrier := {r : R | r • m = r • m'}, add_mem' := ⋯, zero_mem' := ⋯, smul_mem' := ⋯ }
