Exponential map on algebras #

This file defines the exponential map IsNilpotent.exp on ℚ-algebras. The definition of IsNilpotent.exp a applies to any element a in an algebra over ℚ, though it yields meaningful (non-junk) values only when a is nilpotent.

The main result is IsNilpotent.exp_add_of_commute, which establishes the expected connection between the additive and multiplicative structures of A for commuting nilpotent elements.

Additionally, IsNilpotent.isUnit_exp shows that if a is nilpotent in A, then IsNilpotent.exp a is a unit in A.

Note: Although the definition works with ℚ-algebras, the results can be applied to any algebra over a characteristic zero field.

noncomputable def IsNilpotent.exp {A : Type u_1} [Ring A] [Module ℚ A] (a : A) :
A

The exponential map on algebras, defined in analogy with the usual exponential series. It provides meaningful (non-junk) values for nilpotent elements.
