The torsion subgroup of the group of units.
Equations
Instances For
Shortcut instance because Lean tends to time out before finding the general instance.
Equations
- β― = β―
The torsion subgroup is finite.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Equations
- β― = β―
The torsion subgroup is cylic.
Equations
- β― = β―
The order of the torsion subgroup as a positive integer.
Equations
- NumberField.Units.torsionOrder K = { val := Fintype.card β₯(NumberField.Units.torsion K), property := β― }
Instances For
If k
does not divide torsionOrder
then there are no nontrivial roots of unity of
order dividing k
.
The group of roots of unity of order dividing torsionOrder
is equal to the torsion
group.
Dirichlet Unit Theorem #
This section is devoted to the proof of Dirichlet's unit theorem.
We define a group morphism from (π K)Λ£
to {w : InfinitePlace K // w β wβ} β β
where wβ
is a
distinguished (arbitrary) infinite place, prove that its kernel is the torsion subgroup (see
logEmbedding_eq_zero_iff
) and that its image, called unitLattice
, is a full β€
-lattice. It
follows that unitLattice
is a free β€
-module (see instModuleFree_unitLattice
) of rank
card (InfinitePlaces K) - 1
(see unitLattice_rank
). To prove that the unitLattice
is a full
β€
-lattice, we need to prove that it is discrete (see unitLattice_inter_ball_finite
) and that it
spans the full space over β
(see unitLattice_span_eq_top
); this is the main part of the proof,
see the section span_top
below for more details.

In this section, we prove that the span over β
of the unitLattice
is equal to the full space.
For this, we construct for each infinite place wβ β wβ
a unit u_wβ
of K
such that, for all
infinite places w
such that w β wβ
, we have Real.log w (u_wβ) < 0
(and thus Real.log wβ (u_wβ) > 0
). It follows then from a determinant computation
(using Matrix.det_ne_zero_of_sum_col_lt_diag
) that the image by logEmbedding
of these units is
a β
-linearly independent family. The unit u_wβ
is obtained by constructing a sequence seq n
of nonzero algebraic integers that is strictly decreasing at infinite places distinct from wβ
and
of norm β€ B
. Since there are finitely many ideals of norm β€ B
, there exists two term in the
sequence defining the same ideal and their quotient is the desired unit u_wβ
(see exists_unit
).
This result shows that there always exists a next term in the sequence.
An infinite sequence of nonzero algebraic integers of K
satisfying the following properties:
β’ seq n
is nonzero;
β’ for w : InfinitePlace K
, w β wβ β w (seq n+1) < w (seq n)
;
β’ β£norm (seq n)β£ β€ B
.
Equations
- NumberField.Units.dirichletUnitTheorem.seq K wβ hB 0 = { val := 1, property := β― }
- NumberField.Units.dirichletUnitTheorem.seq K wβ hB (Nat.succ n) = { val := Exists.choose β―, property := β― }
Instances For
The terms of the sequence are nonzero.
The terms of the sequence have nonzero norm.
The sequence is strictly decreasing at infinite places distinct from wβ
.
The terms of the sequence have norm bounded by B
.
Construct a unit associated to the place wβ
. The family, for wβ β wβ
, formed by the
image by the logEmbedding
of these units is β
-linearly independent, see
