Surreal multiplication

In this file, we show that multiplication of surreal numbers is well-defined, and thus the surreal numbers form a linear ordered commutative ring.

An inductive argument proves the following three main theorems:

• P1: being numeric is closed under multiplication,
• P2: multiplying a numeric pregame by equivalent numeric pregames results in equivalent pregames,
• P3: the product of two positive numeric pregames is positive (mul_pos).

This is Theorem 8 in [Conway2001], or Theorem 3.8 in [SchleicherStoll]. P1 allows us to define multiplication as an operation on numeric pregames, P2 says that this is well-defined as an operation on the quotient by PGame.Equiv, namely the surreal numbers, and P3 is an axiom that needs to be satisfied for the surreals to be a OrderedRing.

We follow the proof in [SchleicherStoll], except that we use the well-foundedness of the hydra relation CutExpand on Multiset PGame instead of the argument based on a depth function in the paper.

In the argument, P3 is stated with four variables x₁, x₂, y₁, y₂ satisfying x₁ < x₂ and y₁ < y₂, and says that x₁ * y₂ + x₂ * x₁ < x₁ * y₁ + x₂ * y₂, which is equivalent to 0 < x₂ - x₁ → 0 < y₂ - y₁ → 0 < (x₂ - x₁) * (y₂ - y₁), i.e. @mul_pos PGame _ (x₂ - x₁) (y₂ - y₁). It has to be stated in this form and not in terms of mul_pos because we need to show P1, P2 and (a specialized form of) P3 simultaneously, and for example P1 x y will be deduced from P3 with variables taking values simpler than x or y (among other induction hypotheses), but if you subtract two pregames simpler than x or y, the result may no longer be simpler.

The specialized version of P3 is called P4, which takes only three arguments x₁, x₂, y and requires that y₂ = y or -y and that y₁ is a left option of y₂. After P1, P2 and P4 are shown, a further inductive argument (this time using the GameAdd relation) proves P3 in full.

Implementation strategy of the inductive argument: we

• extract specialized versions (IH1, IH2, IH3, IH4 and IH24) of the induction hypothesis that are easier to apply (taking IsOption arguments directly), and
• show they are invariant under certain symmetries (permutation and negation of arguments) and that the induction hypothesis indeed implies the specialized versions.
• utilize the symmetries to minimize calculation.

The whole proof features a clear separation into lemmas of different roles:

• verification of symmetry properties of P and IH (P3_comm, ih1_neg_left, etc.),
• calculations that connect P1, P2, P3, and inequalities between the product of two surreals and its options (mulOption_lt_iff_P1, etc.),
• specializations of the induction hypothesis (numeric_option_mul, ih1, ih1_swap, ih₁₂, ih4, etc.),
• application of specialized induction hypothesis (P1_of_ih, mul_right_le_of_equiv, P3_of_lt, etc.).
