Dedekind domains #
This file defines the notion of a Dedekind domain (or Dedekind ring), as a Noetherian integrally closed commutative ring of Krull dimension at most one.
Main definitions #
is_dedekind_domain
defines a Dedekind domain as a commutative ring that is Noetherian, integrally closed in its field of fractions and has Krull dimension at most one.is_dedekind_domain_iff
shows that this does not depend on the choice of field of fractions.
Implementation notes #
The definitions that involve a field of fractions choose a canonical field of fractions,
but are independent of that choice. The ..._iff
lemmas express this independence.
Often, definitions assume that Dedekind domains are not fields. We found it more practical
to add a (h : ¬ is_field A)
assumption whenever this is explicitly needed.

A ring R
has Krull dimension at most one if all nonzero prime ideals are maximal.
Equations
- ring.dimension_le_one R = ∀ (p : ideal R), p ≠ ⊥ → p.is_prime → p.is_maximal
- is_noetherian_ring : is_noetherian_ring A
- dimension_le_one : ring.dimension_le_one A
- is_integrally_closed : is_integrally_closed A
A Dedekind domain is an integral domain that is Noetherian, integrally closed, and has Krull dimension at most one.
This is definition 3.2 of [Neu99].
The integral closure condition is independent of the choice of field of fractions:
use is_dedekind_domain_iff
to prove is_dedekind_domain
for a given fraction_map
.
This is the default implementation, but there are equivalent definitions,
is_dedekind_domain_dvr
and is_dedekind_domain_inv
.
TODO: Prove that these are actually equivalent definitions.
An integral domain is a Dedekind domain iff and only if it is Noetherian, has dimension ≤ 1, and is integrally closed in a given fraction field. In particular, this definition does not depend on the choice of this fraction field.
