Absorption of sets #
Let M
act on α
, let A
and B
be sets in α
.
We say that A
absorbs B
if for sufficiently large a : M
, we have B ⊆ a • A
.
Formally, "for sufficiently large a : M
" means "for all but a bounded set of a
".
Traditionally, this definition is formulated for the action of a (semi)normed ring on a module over that ring.
We formulate it in a more general settings for two reasons:
- this way we don't have to depend on metric spaces, normed rings etc;
- some proofs look nicer with this definition than with something like
∃ r : ℝ, ∀ a : R, r ≤ ‖a‖ → B ⊆ a • A
.
If M
is a GroupWithZero
(e.g., a division ring),
the sets absorbing a given set form a filter, see Filter.absorbing
.
Implementation notes #
For now, all theorems assume that we deal with (a generalization of) a module over a division ring.
Some lemmas have multiplicative versions for MulDistribMulAction
s.
They can be added later when someone needs them.
