The ideal class group

This file defines the ideal class group ClassGroup R of fractional ideals of R inside its field of fractions.

Main definitions

• toPrincipalIdeal sends an invertible x : K to an invertible fractional ideal
• ClassGroup is the quotient of invertible fractional ideals modulo toPrincipalIdeal.range
• ClassGroup.mk0 sends a nonzero integral ideal in a Dedekind domain to its class

Main results

• ClassGroup.mk0_eq_mk0_iff shows the equivalence with the "classical" definition, where I ~ J iff x I = y J for x y ≠ (0 : R)

Implementation details

The definition of ClassGroup R involves FractionRing R. However, the API should be completely identical no matter the choice of field of fractions for R.
