Ideals over a ring #

This file defines Ideal R, the type of (left) ideals over a ring R. Note that over commutative rings, left ideals and two-sided ideals are equivalent.

Implementation notes #

Ideal R is implemented using Submodule R R, where • is interpreted as *.

TODO #

Support right ideals, and two-sided ideals over non-commutative rings.

def Ideal (R : Type u) [Semiring R] :

A (left) ideal in a semiring R is an additive submonoid s such that a * b ∈ s whenever b ∈ s. If R is a ring, then s is an additive subgroup.

Equations
Instances For

    A ring is a principal ideal ring if all (left) ideals are principal.

                  When a ring is not a field, the maximal ideals are nontrivial.
