Topic: Localization at minimal prime
Dion Leijnse (Jul 14 2025 at 19:56):
Suppose we have a commutative ring and a minimal prime ideal . What is the most efficient way to say that an -algebra is the localiztion of at ? The most natural thing for me to write in Lean is the following:
import Mathlib
example (R S : Type) [CommRing R] [CommRing S] (p : minimalPrimes R) [Algebra R S]
[IsLocalization.AtPrime S p] : Type := S
However, this gives me a typeclass instance error, it is not able to recognize that p is a prime ideal. I can fix this in the following way:
import Mathlib
example (R S : Type) [CommRing R] [CommRing S] (p : Ideal R) (hp : p ∈ minimalPrimes R) [Algebra R S]
[@IsLocalization.AtPrime _ _ S _ _ p (Ideal.minimalPrimes_isPrime hp)] : Type := S
However, this second solution is a lot more verbose. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

add an instance

I think you can refer to docs#IsLocalization.subsingleton_primeSpectrum_of_mem_minimalPrimes.

Thanks, that works for me!
