Rings

Local Open Scope wc_iso_scope.

A ring consists of the following data:
Record Ring := Build_Ring' {
  
An underlying abelian group.
  ring_abgroup :> AbGroup;
  
A multiplication operation.
A multiplicative identity called one.
  ring_one :: One ring_abgroup;
  
Such that all they all satisfy the axioms of a ring.
This field only exists so that opposite rings are definitionally involutive and can safely be ignored.
  ring_mult_assoc_opp : z y x, (x × y) × z = x × (y × z);

Arguments ring_mult {R} : rename.
Arguments ring_one {R} : rename.

Opposite Ring

Given a ring R we can reverse the order of the multiplication to get another ring R^op.
Definition rng_op : Ring Ring.
Proof.
Let's carefully pull apart the ring structure and put it back together. Unfortunately, our definition of ring has some redundant data such as multiple hset assumptions, due to the mixing of algebraic strucutres. This isn't a problem in practice, but it does mean using typeclass inference here will pick up the wrong instance, therefore we carefully put it back together. See test/Algebra/Rings/Ring.v for a test checking this operation is definitionally involutive.

An element x of a ring R is right invertible if there exists an element y such that x × y = 1. We state this as a left invertible element of the opposite ring.
An element x of a ring R is invertible if it is both left and right invertible.
We can show an element is invertible by providing an inverse element which is a left and right inverse similtaneously. We will later show that the two inverses of an invertible element must be equal anyway.

We can show that being invertible is equivalent to having an inverse element that is simultaneously a left and right inverse.

Closure of invertible elements under multiplication

Left invertible elements are closed under multiplication.

Inverses of invertible elements are themselves invertible. We take both inverses of inverse_elem x to be x.

  : IsInvertible R (inverse_elem x).
Proof.

Since inverse_elem (inverse_elem x) = x, we get the following equivalence.

Group of units

Invertible elements are typically called "units" in ring theory and the collection of units forms a group under the ring multiplication.

Multiplication by an invertible element is an equivalence


Global Instance isequiv_rng_inv_mult_l {R : Ring} {x : R}

  : IsEquiv (x *.).

This can be proved by combining isequiv_rng_inv_mult_l (R:=rng_op R) with isinvertible_rng_op, but then the inverse map is given by multiplying by right_inverse_elem x not inverse_elem x, which complicates calculations.
Global Instance isequiv_rng_inv_mult_r {R : Ring} {x : R}

Invertible element movement lemmas

These cannot be proven using the corresponding group laws in the group of units since not all elements involved are invertible.

  : x × y = z <~> x = z × inverse_elem y
  := equiv_moveL_equiv_V (f := (.* y)) z x.

Definition rng_inv_moveR_Vr {R : Ring} {x y z : R} `{IsInvertible R y}
  : x = y × z <~> inverse_elem y × x = z
  := equiv_moveR_equiv_V (f := (y *.)) x z.

  : x = z × y <~> x × inverse_elem y = z
  := equiv_moveR_equiv_V (f := (.* y)) x z.
