Characteristic of semirings #

This file collects some fundamental results on the characteristic of rings that don't need the extra imports of CharP/Lemmas.lean.

As such, we can probably reorganize and find a better home for most of these lemmas.

theorem CharP.intCast_injOn_Ico (R : Type u_1) [AddGroupWithOne R] (p : ) [CharP R p] [IsRightCancelAdd R] :
Set.InjOn Int.cast (Set.Ico 0 p)
theorem RingHom.charP_iff_charP {K : Type u_2} {L : Type u_3} [DivisionRing K] [Semiring L] [Nontrivial L] (f : K →+* L) (p : ) :
CharP K p CharP L p
theorem CharP.cast_ne_zero_of_ne_of_prime (R : Type u_1) [NonAssocSemiring R] [Nontrivial R] {p q : } [CharP R p] (hq : Nat.Prime q) (hneq : p q) :
q 0

If a ring R is of characteristic p, then for any prime number q different from p, it is not zero in R.

theorem CharP.ringChar_of_prime_eq_zero {R : Type u_1} [NonAssocSemiring R] [Nontrivial R] {p : } (hprime : Nat.Prime p) (hp0 : p = 0) :
theorem CharP.charP_iff_prime_eq_zero {R : Type u_1} [NonAssocSemiring R] [Nontrivial R] {p : } (hp : Nat.Prime p) :
CharP R p p = 0
theorem Ring.two_ne_zero {R : Type u_2} [NonAssocSemiring R] [Nontrivial R] (hR : ringChar R 2) :
2 0

We have 2 ≠ 0 in a nontrivial ring whose characteristic is not 2.

Characteristic ≠ 2 and nontrivial implies that -1 ≠ 1.

theorem Ring.eq_self_iff_eq_zero_of_char_ne_two {R : Type u_2} [NonAssocRing R] [Nontrivial R] [NoZeroDivisors R] (hR : ringChar R 2) {a : R} :
-a = a a = 0

Characteristic ≠ 2 in a domain implies that -a = a iff a = 0.

instance Nat.lcm.charP (R : Type u_1) (S : Type u_2) [AddMonoidWithOne R] [AddMonoidWithOne S] (p q : ) [CharP R p] [CharP S q] :
CharP (R × S) (p.lcm q)

The characteristic of the product of rings is the least common multiple of the characteristics of the two rings.

The characteristic of the product of two rings of the same characteristic is the same as the characteristic of the rings

Set.InjOn Int.cast {0, 1, -1}

If two integers from {0, 1, -1} result in equal elements in a ring R that is nontrivial and of characteristic not 2, then they are equal.

instance Fin.charP (n : ) [NeZero n] :
CharP (Fin n) n

The characteristic of F_p is p.
