Characteristic zero #

A ring R is called of characteristic zero if every natural number n is non-zero when considered as an element of R. Since this definition doesn't mention the multiplicative structure of R except for the existence of 1 in this file characteristic zero is defined for additive monoids with 1.

Main definition #

CharZero is the typeclass of an additive monoid with one such that the natural homomorphism from the natural numbers into it is injective.

TODO #

class CharZero (R : Type u_1) [AddMonoidWithOne R] :

Typeclass for monoids with characteristic zero. (This is usually stated on fields but it makes sense for any additive monoid with 1.)

Warning: for a semiring R, CharZero R and CharP R 0 need not coincide.

  • CharZero R requires an injection ℕ ↪ R;
  • CharP R 0 asks that only 0 : ℕ maps to 0 : R under the map ℕ → R. For instance, endowing {0, 1} with addition given by max (i.e. 1 is absorbing), shows that CharZero {0, 1} does not hold and yet CharP {0, 1} 0 does. This example is formalized in Counterexamples/CharPZeroNeCharZero.lean.

    An additive monoid with one has characteristic zero if the canonical map ℕ → R is injective.
