Integral closure of Dedekind domains #
This file shows the integral closure of a Dedekind domain (in particular, the ring of integers of a number field) is a Dedekind domain.
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.

We show that an integral closure of a Dedekind domain in a finite separable field extension is again a Dedekind domain. This implies the ring of integers of a number field is a Dedekind domain.
Send a set of x
'es in a finite extension L
of the fraction field of R
to (y : R) • x ∈ integral_closure R L
.
If L
is a finite extension of K = Frac(A)
,
then L
has a basis over A
consisting of integral elements.
