Dedekind domains

This file defines an equivalent notion of a Dedekind domain (or Dedekind ring), namely a Noetherian integral domain where the localization at every nonzero prime ideal is a DVR.

Main results

• IsLocalization.AtPrime.isDiscreteValuationRing_of_dedekind_domain shows that IsDedekindDomain implies the localization at each nonzero prime ideal is a DVR.
• isDedekindDomain_iff_isDiscreteValuationRing_atPrime proves the equivalence of the two notions of Dedekind domain

Implementation notes

The definitions that involve a field of fractions choose a canonical field of fractions, but are independent of that choice. The ..._iff lemmas express this independence.

Often, definitions assume that Dedekind domains are not fields. We found it more practical to add a (h : ¬ IsField A) assumption whenever this is explicitly needed.

Localizing a domain of Krull dimension ≤ 1 gives another ring of Krull dimension ≤ 1.

Note that the same proof can/should be generalized to preserving any Krull dimension, once we have a suitable definition.

In a Dedekind domain, the localization at every nonzero prime ideal is a DVR.

An integral domain is a Dedekind domain iff it is Noetherian and the localization at every nonzero prime is a discrete valuation ring.
