Topic: Fitting's Lemma
VayusElytra (Jul 15 2024 at 15:57):
I was looking through the documentation concerning Fitting's Lemma (here); how can one use this to actually obtain a decomposition of some module M
as a product of image and kernel of a power of an endomorphism? In particular the implementation makes no reference to products at all. Is this a bit of API that it would be useful to prove and contribute to mathlib?

The decomposition is hidden in the properties of IsCompl
for submodule, more precisely there

Thank you! Just one more question; what's the ∀ᶠ n in atTop
in the statement of eventually_codisjoint_ker_pow_range_pow
in Mathlib.RingTheory.Artinian? The old implementation of this theorem just used exists n
; why is the new version preferable?

This is described in docs#Filter.Eventually. It is the notation meaning "for every sufficiently large n (without specifying who n actually is).
Filippo A. E. Nuccio (Jul 17 2024 at 15:32):
The new implementation is finer: it says that once you have found one n
that works, all larger m
will also work.
