Valuation Rings #
A valuation ring is a domain such that for every pair of elements a b
, either a
divides
b
or vice-versa.
Any valuation ring induces a natural valuation on its fraction field, as we show in this file.
Namely, given the following instances:
[CommRing A] [IsDomain A] [ValuationRing A] [Field K] [Algebra A K] [IsFractionRing A K]
,
there is a natural valuation Valuation A K
on K
with values in value_group A K
where
the image of A
under algebraMap A K
agrees with (Valuation A K).integer
.
We also provide the equivalence of the following notions for a domain R
in ValuationRing.TFAE
.
R
is a valuation ring.- For each
x : FractionRing K
, eitherx
orx⁻¹
is inR
. - "divides" is a total relation on the elements of
R
. - "contains" is a total relation on the ideals of
R
. R
is a local bezout domain.
We also show that, given a valuation v
on a field K
, the ring of valuation integers is a
valuation ring and K
is the fraction field of this ring.
Implementation details #
The Mathlib definition of a valuation ring requires IsDomain A
even though the condition
does not mention zero divisors. Thus, there is a technical PreValuationRing A
that
is defined in further generality that can be used in places where the ring cannot be a domain.
The ValuationRing
class is kept to be in sync with the literature.
An integral domain is called a ValuationRing
provided that for any pair
of elements a b : A
, either a
divides b
or vice versa.
