Conditionally complete linear ordered fields

This file shows that the reals are unique, or, more formally, given a type satisfying the common axioms of the reals (field, conditionally complete, linearly ordered) that there is an isomorphism preserving these properties to the reals. This is LinearOrderedField.inducedOrderRingIso for ℚ. Moreover this isomorphism is unique.

We introduce definitions of conditionally complete linear ordered fields, and show all such are archimedean. We also construct the natural map from a LinearOrderedField to such a field.

Main definitions

• ConditionallyCompleteLinearOrderedField: A field satisfying the standard axiomatization of the real numbers, being a Dedekind complete and linear ordered field.
• LinearOrderedField.inducedMap: A (unique) map from any archimedean linear ordered field to a conditionally complete linear ordered field. Various bundlings are available.

Main results

• LinearOrderedField.uniqueOrderRingHom : Uniqueness of OrderRingHoms from an archimedean linear ordered field to a conditionally complete linear ordered field.
• LinearOrderedField.uniqueOrderRingIso : Uniqueness of OrderRingIsos between two conditionally complete linearly ordered fields.

Any conditionally complete linearly ordered field is archimedean.

Rational cut map

The idea is that a conditionally complete linear ordered field is fully characterized by its copy of the rationals. Hence we define LinearOrderedField.cutMap β : α → Set β which sends a : α to the "rationals in β" that are less than a.

def LinearOrderedField.cutMap {α : Type u_2} (β : Type u_3) [LinearOrderedField α] [DivisionRing β] (a : α) : Set β

The lower cut of rationals inside a linear ordered field that are less than a given element of another linear ordered field.

Induced map

LinearOrderedField.cutMap spits out a Set β. To get something in β, we now take the supremum.
