Decomposition of the identity of a semiring into orthogonal idempotents #

In this file we show that if a semiring R can be decomposed into a direct sum of (left) ideals R = V₁ ⊕ V₂ ⊕ ⬝ ⬝ ⬝ ⊕ Vₙ then in the corresponding decomposition 1 = e₁ + e₂ + ⬝ ⬝ ⬝ + eₙ with eᵢ ∈ Vᵢ, each eᵢ is an idempotent and the eᵢ's form a family of complete orthogonal idempotents.

def DirectSum.idempotent {R : Type u_1} {I : Type u_2} [Semiring R] [DecidableEq I] (V : IIdeal R) [Decomposition V] (i : I) :
R

The decomposition of (1 : R) where 1 = e₁ + e₂ + ⬝ ⬝ ⬝ + eₙ which is induced by the decomposition of the semiring R = V1 ⊕ V2 ⊕ ⬝ ⬝ ⬝ ⊕ Vn.
