# Dedekind domains #

This file defines the notion of a Dedekind domain (or Dedekind ring), as a Noetherian integrally closed commutative ring of Krull dimension at most one.

## Main definitions #

• is_dedekind_domain defines a Dedekind domain as a commutative ring that is Noetherian, integrally closed in its field of fractions and has Krull dimension at most one. is_dedekind_domain_iff shows that this does not depend on the choice of field of fractions.

## Implementation notes #

The definitions that involve a field of fractions choose a canonical field of fractions, but are independent of that choice. The ..._iff lemmas express this independence.

Often, definitions assume that Dedekind domains are not fields. We found it more practical to add a (h : ¬ is_field A) assumption whenever this is explicitly needed.

A Dedekind domain is an integral domain that is Noetherian, integrally closed, and has Krull dimension at most one.

This is definition 3.2 of [Neu99].

The integral closure condition is independent of the choice of field of fractions: use is_dedekind_domain_iff to prove is_dedekind_domain for a given fraction_map.

This is the default implementation, but there are equivalent definitions, is_dedekind_domain_dvr and is_dedekind_domain_inv. TODO: Prove that these are actually equivalent definitions.

An integral domain is a Dedekind domain iff and only if it is Noetherian, has dimension ≤ 1, and is integrally closed in a given fraction field. In particular, this definition does not depend on the choice of this fraction field.
