Number fields #

This file defines a number field and the ring of integers corresponding to it.

Implementation notes #

The definitions that involve a field of fractions choose a canonical field of fractions, but are independent of that choice.

number field, ring of integers

structure number_field (K : Type u_1) [field K] :
Prop

A number field is a field which has characteristic zero and is finite dimensional over ℚ.

Instances

with its usual ring structure is not a field.

theorem number_field.is_algebraic (K : Type u_1) [field K] [nf : number_field K] :
def number_field.ring_of_integers (K : Type u_1) [field K] :

The ring of integers (or number ring) corresponding to a number field is the integral closure of ℤ in the number field.

def number_field.ring_of_integers_algebra (K : Type u_1) (L : Type u_2) [field K] [field L] [algebra K L] :

Given an algebra between two fields, create an algebra between their two rings of integers.

For now, this is not an instance by default as it creates an equal-but-not-defeq diamond with algebra.id when K = L. This is caused by x = ⟨x, x.prop⟩ not being defeq on subtypes. This will likely change in Lean 4.
