Matrices associated with non-degenerate bilinear forms #

Main definitions #

def matrix.nondegenerate {m : Type u_1} {R : Type u_2} [fintype m] [comm_ring R] (M : matrix m m R) :
Prop

A matrix M is nondegenerate if for all v ≠ 0, there is a w ≠ 0 with w ⬝ M ⬝ v ≠ 0.

v = 0

If M is nondegenerate and w ⬝ M ⬝ v = 0 for all w, then v = 0.

∃ (w : m → R), v ⬝ᵥ M.mul_vec w 0

If M is nondegenerate and v ≠ 0, then there is some w such that w ⬝ M ⬝ v ≠ 0.

If M has a nonzero determinant, then M as a bilinear form on n → A is nondegenerate.
