Subfields #
Let K be a division ring, for example a field.
This file defines the "bundled" subfield type Subfield K, a type
whose terms correspond to subfields of K. Note we do not require the "subfields" to be
commutative, so they are really sub-division rings / skew fields. This is the preferred way to talk
about subfields in mathlib. Unbundled subfields (s : Set K and IsSubfield s)
are not in this file, and they will ultimately be deprecated.
We prove that subfields 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 K to Subfield K, sending a subset of K
to the subfield it generates, and prove that it is a Galois insertion.
Main definitions #
Notation used here:
(K : Type u) [DivisionRing K] (L : Type u) [DivisionRing L] (f g : K →+* L)
(A : Subfield K) (B : Subfield L) (s : Set K)
Subfield K: the type of subfields of a division ringK.
Implementation notes #
A subfield is implemented as a subring which is closed under ⁻¹.
Lattice inclusion (e.g. ≤ and ⊓) is used rather than set notation (⊆ and ∩), although
∈ is defined as membership of a subfield's underlying set.

SubfieldClass S K states S is a type of subsets s ⊆ K closed under field operations.
Instances
A subfield contains 1, products and inverses.
Be assured that we're not actually proving that subfields are subgroups:
SubgroupClass is really an abbreviation of SubgroupWithOrWithoutZeroClass.

Subfield R is the type of subfields of R. A subfield of R is a subset s that is a
multiplicative submonoid and an additive subgroup. Note in particular that it shares the
same 0 and 1 as R.
A subfield is closed under multiplicative inverses.
Instances For
Two subfields are equal if they have the same elements.
Copy of a subfield with a new carrier equal to the old one. Useful to fix definitional
