Modules over a ring #

In this file we define

Implementation notes #

In typical mathematical usage, our definition of Module corresponds to "semimodule", and the word "module" is reserved for Module R M where R is a Ring and M an AddCommGroup. If R is a Field and M an AddCommGroup, M would be called an R-vector space. Since those assumptions can be made by changing the typeclasses applied to R and M, without changing the axioms in Module, mathlib calls everything a Module.

In older versions of mathlib3, we had separate abbreviations for semimodules and vector spaces. This caused inference issues in some cases, while not providing any real advantages, so we decided to use a canonical Module typeclass throughout.

A module is a generalization of vector spaces to a scalar semiring. It consists of a scalar semiring R and an additive monoid of "vectors" M, connected by a "scalar multiplication" operation r • x : M (where r : R and x : M) with some natural associativity and distributivity axioms similar to those on a ring.

  • smul : RMM
  • one_smul : ∀ (b : M), 1 b = b
  • mul_smul : ∀ (x y : R) (b : M), (x * y) b = x y b
  • smul_zero : ∀ (a : R), a 0 = 0
  • smul_add : ∀ (a : R) (x y : M), a (x + y) = a x + a y
  • add_smul : ∀ (r s : R) (x : M), (r + s) x = r x + s x

    Scalar multiplication distributes over addition from the right.

  • zero_smul : ∀ (x : M), 0 x = 0

    Scalar multiplication by zero gives zero.
