Stream: Is there code for X?

Topic: linear_map.eq_locus


Eric Wieser (Mar 10 2022 at 15:39):

We have docs#ring_hom.eq_locus and docs#monoid_hom.eq_locus, and even docs#linear_pmap.eq_locus. Unless I'm missing something, is there a reason we don't have docs#linear_map.eq_locus?

Eric Wieser (Mar 10 2022 at 15:39):

Is it hiding somewhere with a different name?

Reid Barton (Mar 10 2022 at 17:31):

maybe the kernel of f - g?

Eric Wieser (Mar 10 2022 at 17:42):

Indeed, but (f - g).ker isn't valid when M is only an additive monoid

Eric Wieser (Mar 10 2022 at 17:42):

(and is definitionally worse)
