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
?

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
