Commuting pairs of elements in monoids

We define the predicate Commute a b := a * b = b * a and provide some operations on terms (h : Commute a b). E.g., if a, b, and c are elements of a semiring, and that hb : Commute a b and hc : Commute a c. Then hb.pow_left 5 proves Commute (a ^ 5) b and (hb.pow_right 2).add_right (hb.mul_right hc) proves Commute a (b ^ 2 + b * c).

Lean does not immediately recognise these terms as equations, so for rewriting we need syntax like rw [(hb.pow_left 5).eq] rather than just rw [hb.pow_left 5].

This file defines only a few operations (mul_left, inv_right, etc). Other operations (pow_right, field inverse etc) are in the files that define corresponding notions.

Implementation details

Most of the proofs come from the properties of SemiconjBy.

def Commute {S : Type u_3} [Mul S] (a b : S) : Prop

Two elements commute if a * b = b * a.

Equations

• Commute a b = SemiconjBy a b b

def AddCommute {S : Type u_3} [Add S] (a b : S) : Prop

Two elements additively commute if a + b = b + a

Equations

• AddCommute a b = AddSemiconjBy a b b
