Stream: Is there code for X?

Topic: triangle equality if arg is equal


Eric Rodriguez (Mar 15 2022 at 14:01):

Do we have that (z + w).abs = z.abs + w.abs iff z.arg = w.arg? (possibly excluding zero)

Yaël Dillies (Mar 15 2022 at 14:12):

See #11794

Yaël Dillies (Mar 15 2022 at 14:13):

You'll need some glue to relate same_ray and complex.arg.

Eric Rodriguez (Mar 15 2022 at 14:28):

oh, nice! I'm no expert on this stuff but I was scrolling through and literally that condition is there

Eric Rodriguez (Mar 15 2022 at 14:32):

always nice when stuff works out this way^^

Alex J. Best (Mar 15 2022 at 14:55):

Are you thinking of using this for the cyclotomic PR @Eric Rodriguez . It would be quite useful there!

Yaël Dillies (Mar 15 2022 at 14:59):

A good deal of #11794 is ready already but I gathered that @Yury G. Kudryashov wanted to add some material.

Eric Rodriguez (Mar 15 2022 at 14:59):

precisely @Alex J. Best :)

Yaël Dillies (Mar 15 2022 at 15:10):

I'm always surprised when my stuff turns out useful :sweat_smile:
Time to get back to obscure order theory stuff, I guess.

Yury G. Kudryashov (Mar 16 2022 at 05:21):

You can prove that an inner product space is strictly convex first ;)

Yury G. Kudryashov (Mar 17 2022 at 23:38):

Done in #12790

Eric Rodriguez (Mar 17 2022 at 23:40):

nice! I also made #12764 so this should be all the glue necessary

Yury G. Kudryashov (Mar 17 2022 at 23:43):

I think that we should wait for #11794 and #12790, then update some statements in #12764 from implications to iffs.
