Topic: quotient inconsistency
Kevin Buzzard (Jan 30 2023 at 21:59):
Just noticed when preparing teaching that G →* G ⧸ N
is quotient_group.mk' N
and V →ₗ[k] V ⧸ X
is submodule.mkq X
. Should quotient_group
be removed or should there be a quotient_module
, or is there a logical reason for this apparent inconsistency?

Our naming around quotients is a mess everywhere I think. The nice thing about submodule.mkq
is that you can use dot notation I guess, so that's a point in its favor.
