Henselian rings #

In this file we set up the basic theory of Henselian (local) rings. A ring R is Henselian at an ideal I if the following conditions hold:

(Here, saying that a root b of a polynomial g is simple means that g.derivative.eval b is a unit. Warning: if R/I is not a field then it is not enough to assume that g has a factorization into monic linear factors in which X - b shows up only once; for example 1 is not a simple root of X^2-1 over ℤ/4ℤ.)

A local ring R is Henselian if it is Henselian at its maximal ideal. In this case the first condition is automatic, and in the second condition we may ask for f.derivative.eval a ≠ 0, since the quotient ring R/I is a field in this case.

TODO #

After a good API for etale ring homomorphisms has been developed, we can give more equivalent characterization of Henselian rings.

In particular, this can give a proof that factorizations into coprime polynomials can be lifted from the residue field to the Henselian ring.

The following gist contains some code sketches in that direction. https://gist.github.com/jcommelin/47d94e4af092641017a97f7f02bf9598

class HenselianRing (R : Type u_1) [CommRing R] (I : Ideal R) :

A ring R is Henselian at an ideal I if the following condition holds: for every polynomial f over R, with a simple root a₀ over the quotient ring R/I, there exists a lift a : R of a₀ that is a root of f.

(Here, saying that a root b of a polynomial g is simple means that g.derivative.eval b is a unit. Warning: if R/I is not a field then it is not enough to assume that g has a factorization into monic linear factors in which X - b shows up only once; for example 1 is not a simple root of X^2-1 over ℤ/4ℤ.)

    A local ring R is Henselian if the following condition holds: for every polynomial f over R, with a simple root a₀ over the residue field, there exists a lift a : R of a₀ that is a root of f. (Recall that a root b of a polynomial g is simple if it is not a double root, so if g.derivative.eval b ≠ 0.)

    In other words, R is local Henselian if it is Henselian at the ideal I, in the sense of HenselianRing.
