Topic: Grind and Noncommutative rings?


Siddharth Bhat (May 15 2025 at 09:29):

I saw https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/8343/, which prepares grind to work with noncommutative rings. I was wondering what decision procedures are planned to be implemented: I don't know of any "standard" decision procedure to decide the equational theory of noncommutative ring, and so would appreciate a pointer to the literature :)

No decision procedures, just normal forms.

i.e. just the scope of Mathlib's noncomm_ring.
