Cardinality of localizations #
In this file, we establish the cardinality of localizations. In most cases, a localization has
cardinality equal to the base ring. If there are zero-divisors, however, this is no longer true -
for example, ZMod 6
localized at {2, 4}
is equal to ZMod 3
, and if you have zero in your
submonoid, then your localization is trivial (see IsLocalization.uniqueOfZeroMem
).
Main statements #
IsLocalization.cardinalMk_le
: A localization has cardinality no larger than the base ring.IsLocalization.cardinalMk
: If you don't localize at zero-divisors, the localization of a ring has cardinality equal to its base ring.
A localization always has cardinality less than or equal to the base ring.

If you do not localize at any zero-divisors, localization preserves cardinality.
