Topic: how to define a group ring


Chengyan Hu (Aug 17 2025 at 22:17):

Hi! I want to claim an isomorphism of modules over a group ring, but I'm confused in how group rings work in lean. Can anyone give me some help in how to define a group ring?

Short answer: k[G] is MonoidAlgebra k G.
It might be instructive to check how the Maschke theorem file works.
