Ideals in product rings #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
For commutative rings R and S and ideals I ≤ R, J ≤ S, we define ideal.prod I J as the
product I × J, viewed as an ideal of R × S. In ideal_prod_eq we show that every ideal of
R × S is of this form. Furthermore, we show that every prime ideal of R × S is of the form
p × S or R × p, where p is a prime ideal.

(I : ideal (R × S)) :
I = (ideal.map (ring_hom.fst R S) I).prod (ideal.map (ring_hom.snd R S) I)
Every ideal of the product ring is of the form I × J, where I and J can be explicitly
given as the image under the projection maps.
Ideals of R × S are in one-to-one correspondence with pairs of ideals of R and ideals of
S.
