# Group actions on and by units M#

This file provides the action of a unit on a type α, has_scalar (units M) α, in the presence of has_scalar M α, with the obvious definition stated in units.smul_def. This definition preserves mul_action and distrib_mul_action structures too.

Additionally, a mul_action G M for some group G satisfying some additional properties admits a mul_action G (units M) structure, again with the obvious definition stated in units.coe_smul. These instances use a primed name.

The results are repeated for add_units and has_vadd where relevant.

### Action of a group G on units of M#

def units.mul_action' {G : Type u_1} {M : Type u_3} [group G] [monoid M] [ M] [ M] [ M] :
(units M)

If an action G associates and commutes with multiplication on M, then it lifts to an action on units M. Notably, this provides mul_action (units M) (units N) under suitable conditions.
