Subrings

Let R be a ring. This file defines the "bundled" subring type Subring R, a type whose terms correspond to subrings of R. This is the preferred way to talk about subrings in mathlib. Unbundled subrings (s : Set R and IsSubring s) are not in this file, and they will ultimately be deprecated.

We prove that subrings are a complete lattice, and that you can map (pushforward) and comap (pull back) them along ring homomorphisms.

We define the closure construction from Set R to Subring R, sending a subset of R to the subring it generates, and prove that it is a Galois insertion.

Main definitions

Notation used here:

(R : Type u) [Ring R] (S : Type u) [Ring S] (f g : R →+* S) (A : Subring R) (B : Subring S) (s : Set R)

• Subring R : the type of subrings of a ring R.

• instance : CompleteLattice (Subring R) : the complete lattice structure on the subrings.

• Subring.center : the center of a ring R.

• Subring.closure : subring closure of a set, i.e., the smallest subring that includes the set.

• Subring.gi : closure : Set M → Subring M and coercion (↑) : Subring M → et M form a GaloisInsertion.

• comap f B : Subring A : the preimage of a subring B along the ring homomorphism f

• map f A : Subring B : the image of a subring A along the ring homomorphism f.

• prod A B : Subring (R × S) : the product of subrings

• f.range : Subring B : the range of the ring homomorphism f.

• eqLocus f g : Subring R : given ring homomorphisms f g : R →+* S, the subring of R where f x = g x

Implementation notes

A subring is implemented as a subsemiring which is also an additive subgroup. The initial PR was as a submonoid which is also an additive subgroup.

Lattice inclusion (e.g. ≤ and ⊓) is used rather than set notation (⊆ and ∩), although ∈ is defined as membership of a subring's underlying set.
