Stream: Is there code for X?

Topic: Predicate for an element being an inverse in a comm_monoid


Chris Hughes (Jan 28 2022 at 11:38):

Do we have a predicate for x * y = 1 when x and y are in a comm_monoid with lemmas like x ^ n * y ^ n = 1?

Anne Baanen (Jan 28 2022 at 11:39):

Something like docs#invertible but with a given inverse?

Yaël Dillies (Jan 28 2022 at 11:39):

There's docs#is_left_inv, but I fear there's no API for it

Chris Hughes (Jan 28 2022 at 11:42):

I'll just use the hypothesis x * y = 1 in that case. Just checking if there's a correct way of stating this.

Chris Hughes (Jan 28 2022 at 12:20):

ACtually invertible looks like what I want
