Topic: Chain lemmas
Violeta Hernández (Dec 07 2021 at 17:49):
While working on #maths > abstract polytopes, I noticed some useful results missing from zorn.lean
:
chain.empty
: The empty set is always a chain.chain.subsingleton
: A subsingleton is always a chain.chain.max_chain_of_chain
: Any chain is contained in a maximal chain.
The first two are immediate from what has already been proven, but useful nonetheless. The last one is a consequence of Zorn's lemma and generalizes Hausdorff's maximality principle.
I'd like non-master write access on a separate branch to add these lemmas/theorems to the file. My Github username is vihdzp
.

I just checked and GitHub says you already have access; I guess someone beat me to the punch!

Oh! I'm really sorry, I thought I had to ask again for every separate PR.

No worries, thanks for contributing!
