Topic: Formalising Commutative Algebra


Suryansh Shrivastava (Apr 11 2023 at 22:53):

I have been planning to formalize Hartshorne exercises, which require many theorems from Atiyah Macdonald and Matsumura. So, I was wondering grossly how much theory from Matsumura has been formalized?

Johan Commelin (Apr 12 2023 at 05:31):

I don't know Matsumura by heart... but concerning Atiyah-Macdonald: I think we have basically everything except for dimension theory and may some things on primary decompositions. Flatness seems to be done, but maybe hasn't landed in mathlib yet.

Suryansh Shrivastava (Apr 12 2023 at 06:43):

Okay, maybe I'll first try to formalize the exercises from Atiyah - Macdonald. Is that doable?

Riccardo Brasca (Apr 12 2023 at 06:47):

Those are surely doable. I have students working on units/nilpotent/zero divisors of polynomials/power series

Suryansh Shrivastava (Apr 12 2023 at 06:48):

A while back, I saw you guys were working on the fact that an A-module M is flat

$$\iff I \tensor M \equiv IM $$

Suryansh Shrivastava (Apr 12 2023 at 06:50):

That's a result of Matsumura right? and assumes many facts from homological algebra like the preservation of tensor product in direct limits and so on... How is that working out?

Is there a public repository available for the same?

I think @Jujian Zhang has the flatness result above, not sure if it's PRed though

He spoke about it in London learning lean but I didn't put this term's videos up on YouTube yet
