Principal ideal rings and principal ideal domains #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
A principal ideal ring (PIR) is a ring in which all left ideals are principal. A principal ideal domain (PID) is an integral domain which is a principal ideal ring.
Main definitions #
Note that for principal ideal domains, one should use
[is_domain R] [is_principal_ideal_ring R]. There is no explicit definition of a PID.
Theorems about PID's are in the principal_ideal_ring namespace.
is_principal_ideal_ring: a predicate on rings, saying that every left ideal is principal.generator: a generator of a principal ideal (or more generally submodule)to_unique_factorization_monoid: a PID is a unique factorization domain
Main results #
to_maximal_ideal: a non-zero prime ideal in a PID is maximal.euclidean_domain.to_principal_ideal_domain: a Euclidean domain is a PID.
- principal : ∃ (a : M), S = submodule.span R {a}
An R-submodule of M is principal if it is generated by one element.
Instances of this typeclass
- principal : ∀ (S : ideal R), submodule.is_principal S
A ring is a principal ideal ring if all (left) ideals are principal.
generator I, if I is a principal submodule, is an x ∈ M such that span R {x} = I
Equations
factors a is a multiset of irreducible elements whose product is a, up to units
Equations
- principal_ideal_ring.factors a = dite (a = 0) (λ (h : a = 0), ∅) (λ (h : ¬a = 0), classical.some _)
If a ring_hom maps all units and all factors of an element a into a submonoid s, then it
also maps a into that submonoid.
A principal ideal domain has unique factorization
The surjective image of a principal ideal ring is again a principal ideal ring.
Bézout's lemma
non_principals R is the set of all ideals of R that are not principal ideals.
Equations
- non_principals R = {I : ideal R | ¬submodule.is_principal I}
Any chain in the set of non-principal ideals has an upper bound which is non-principal. (Namely, the union of the chain is such an upper bound.)
If all prime ideals in a commutative ring are principal, so are all other ideals.
