Topic: Submonoid.closure_mul_distrib

Loogle tells me that we don't have the equality version of docs#Submonoid.closure_mul_le under an assumption of commutativity. I assume this means we're missing the corresponding statements for all subobjects in the algebraic hierarchy then. Is that correct?

Eric Wieser (Apr 25 2024 at 22:40):

I think this is indeed missing

Eric Wieser (Apr 25 2024 at 22:41):

Probably because it's false?

Eric Wieser (Apr 25 2024 at 22:43):

Consider addition and S = T = {2}, closure (S + T) = closure {4} < closure {2} = closure S ⊔ closure T.

Eric Wieser (Apr 25 2024 at 22:44):

Probably it's true if you assume the sets contain an identity element?

Jireh Loreaux (Apr 25 2024 at 23:06):

Ah yes, I was assuming they contain the Identity.
