Thanks!

What is happening with μ.ae
vs ae μ
?
Kim Morrison (Jul 16 2024 at 20:14):
Not sure. Looks like a PR from Yury ~2 months ago, that didn't install a deprecation.
Patrick Massot (Jul 16 2024 at 20:22):
I see, this is generalizing the input of ae. I guess this isn’t a bit issue since it appears only in the context of saying there is a special notation for Filter.eventually
in this case.
Patrick Massot (Jul 16 2024 at 20:23):
The Nat.card
mess is much worse.

Do we have a better story to tell than: Mathlib randomly uses Fintype.card
and Nat.card
?
Yaël Dillies (Jul 16 2024 at 20:29):
I had the story that Mathlib uses Fintype.card
except when it can't, but now I don't know :sad:
Patrick Massot (Jul 16 2024 at 20:36):
This is really a nightmare. Half of the lemmas use one and half use the other. And I am talking only about lemmas about cardinals of subgroups.
Michael Rothgang (Jul 16 2024 at 21:07):
If I understand correctly, there's a pending migration from Fintype.card
to Nat.card
; #14789 is the most recent PR. CC @Thomas Browning
Thomas Browning (Jul 16 2024 at 21:51):
At least for groups, Nat.card
is definitely preferable. Most theorems in group theory about cardinalities are purely multiplicative statements (e.g., ) so they generalize to infinite groups (e.g., #13431). This also connects nicely with orders of elements, where the kernel of has kernel generated by orderOf g
, even when g
has infinite order.
The group theory library has been a messy mix of both, but I've been slowly switching things over (sometimes with impressive results: #13637!). Most of the churn should be over. I think the only low-level file left is OrderOfElement.lean
.
Kim Morrison (Jul 16 2024 at 23:35):
Unfortunately these refactors are hard to do atomically, and this MIL bump is badly timed. I think merging the current state but revisiting in a few weeks (or when Thomas says it's a good time!) will eventually reach a good result.
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 07:12):
It’s already great to learn that things are moving and there is hope.
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 07:30):
Do we have a Nat.card
version of docs#Fintype.card_eq_one_iff ?
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 07:35):
Same for docs#Fintype.bijective_iff_injective_and_card
Peter Nelson (Jul 17 2024 at 11:35):
Not as single lemmas, but you can potentially use docs#Set.ncard_univ and the ncard
API to help with things like that.
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 11:39):
In the mean time I opened #107568 #14825
Peter Nelson (Jul 17 2024 at 11:41):
Wrong PR link there : #14825
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 12:01):
Thanks. I wonder where I took the wrong number…
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 12:18):
@Peter Nelson I updated the PR with the refinement you wanted.
Patrick Massot (Jul 17 2024 at 15:56):
Note the above PR was merged by Kim so I have been able to bump Mathlib in MIL to use those new lemmas. So there is no longer any use of Fintype.card
in that MIL file.
