Topic: Vector space isomorphism


Nicolò Cavalleri (Jul 02 2020 at 14:33):

I was wondering how do you express that two modules or two vector spaces are isomorphic. I see that there is a structure for linear map but I do not find any for isomorphism

Eric Wieser (Jul 02 2020 at 14:33):

Possibly equiv, but I'm no expert

Mario Carneiro (Jul 02 2020 at 14:35):

there is a src#linear_equiv type I believe

Ok thanks!

Weirdly I was looking at that definition about an hour ago, because I edited linear_algebra.basic in a PR and the linter complained; it turned out that the issue is that linear_equiv.to_equiv and some other similar defs hadn't got docstrings.

@Kevin Buzzard That sounds like #2409. I believe the solution is to either add @[nolint doc_blame] or to use add_decl_doc to add a docstring after the fact (e.g. here).
