Typeclasses for (semi)groups and monoids #

In this file we define typeclasses for algebraic structures with one binary operation. The classes are named (Add)?(Comm)?(Semigroup|Monoid|Group), where Add means that the class uses additive notation and Comm means that the class assumes that the binary operation is commutative.

The file does not contain any lemmas except for

For basic lemmas about these classes see Algebra.Group.Basic.

We register the following instances:

                                                  Design note on AddMonoid and Monoid #

                                                  An AddMonoid has a natural -action, defined by n • a = a + ... + a, that we want to declare as an instance as it makes it possible to use the language of linear algebra. However, there are often other natural -actions. For instance, for any semiring R, the space of polynomials Polynomial R has a natural R-action defined by multiplication on the coefficients. This means that Polynomial ℕ would have two natural -actions, which are equal but not defeq. The same goes for linear maps, tensor products, and so on (and even for itself).

                                                  To solve this issue, we embed an -action in the definition of an AddMonoid (which is by default equal to the naive action a + ... + a, but can be adjusted when needed), and declare a SMul ℕ α instance using this action. See Note [forgetful inheritance] for more explanations on this pattern.

                                                  For example, when we define Polynomial R, then we declare the -action to be by multiplication on each coefficient (using the -action on R that comes from the fact that R is an AddMonoid). In this way, the two natural SMul ℕ (Polynomial ℕ) instances are defeq.

                                                  The tactic to_additive transfers definitions and results from multiplicative monoids to additive monoids. To work, it has to map fields to fields. This means that we should also add corresponding fields to the multiplicative structure Monoid, which could solve defeq problems for powers if needed. These problems do not come up in practice, so most of the time we will not need to adjust the npow field when defining multiplicative objects.

                                                                                                      Those two pairs of made-up classes fulfill slightly different roles.

                                                                                                      DivInvMonoid/SubNegMonoid provides the minimum amount of information to define the action (zpow or zsmul). Further, it provides a div field, matching the forgetful inheritance pattern. This is useful to shorten extension clauses of stronger structures (Group, GroupWithZero, DivisionRing, Field) and for a few structures with a rather weak pseudo-inverse (Matrix).

                                                                                                      DivisionMonoid/SubtractionMonoid is targeted at structures with stronger pseudo-inverses. It is an ad hoc collection of axioms that are mainly respected by three things:

                                                                                                      It acts as a middle ground for structures with an inversion operator that plays well with multiplication, except for the fact that it might not be a true inverse (a / a ≠ 1 in general). The axioms are pretty arbitrary (many other combinations are equivalent to it), but they are independent:

                                                                                                      As a consequence, a few natural structures do not fit in this framework. For example, ENNReal respects everything except for the fact that (0 * ∞)⁻¹ = 0⁻¹ = ∞ while ∞⁻¹ * 0⁻¹ = 0 * ∞ = 0.

                                                                                                      def DivInvMonoid.div' {G : Type u} [Monoid G] [Inv G] (a b : G) :

                                                                                                      In a class equipped with instances of both Monoid and Inv, this definition records what the default definition for Div would be: a * b⁻¹. This is later provided as the default value for the Div instance in DivInvMonoid.

                                                                                                      We keep it as a separate definition rather than inlining it in DivInvMonoid so that the Div field of individual DivInvMonoids constructed using that default value will not be unfolded at .instance transparency.

                                                                                                        This deduplicates the name div_eq_mul_inv. The default for div is such that a / b = a * b⁻¹ holds by definition.

                                                                                                        Adding div as a field rather than defining a / b := a * b⁻¹ allows us to avoid certain classes of unification failures, for example: Let Foo X be a type with a ∀ X, Div (Foo X) instance but no ∀ X, Inv (Foo X), e.g. when Foo X is a EuclideanDomain. Suppose we also have an instance ∀ X [Cromulent X], GroupWithZero (Foo X). Then the (/) coming from GroupWithZero.div cannot be definitionally equal to the (/) coming from Foo.Div.

                                                                                                        In the same way, adding a zpow field makes it possible to avoid definitional failures in diamonds. See the definition of Monoid and Note [forgetful inheritance] for more explanations on this.

                                                                                                            The default for sub is such that a - b = a + -b holds by definition.

                                                                                                            Adding sub as a field rather than defining a - b := a + -b allows us to avoid certain classes of unification failures, for example: Let foo X be a type with a ∀ X, Sub (Foo X) instance but no ∀ X, Neg (Foo X). Suppose we also have an instance ∀ X [Cromulent X], AddGroup (Foo X). Then the (-) coming from AddGroup.sub cannot be definitionally equal to the (-) coming from Foo.Sub.

                                                                                                            In the same way, adding a zsmul field makes it possible to avoid definitional failures in diamonds. See the definition of AddMonoid and Note [forgetful inheritance] for more explanations on this.

The nsmul/zsmul lemmas will be correct.
