Multiplicative units of normed rings #
This file develops the ring-specific properties of TauCeti.IsNormMulUnit, whose definition
and multiplicative closure properties live in TauCeti.Analysis.Normed.Monoid.MulUnit.
A nontrivial normed ring with a multiplicative unit has ‖1‖ = 1. In a seminormed ring,
a unit is multiplicative precisely when its inverse has reciprocal norm. Norm-preserving
monoid homomorphisms between seminormed rings preserve multiplicative units, even when they are
not onto. In a complete ultrametric norm-one ring, small
perturbations of one are multiplicative units. More generally, an element f within less than
‖u‖ of a multiplicative unit u is again a multiplicative unit: it factors as
f = u * (1 - x) with x = u⁻¹ * (u - f) of norm less than one, so its inverse is the Neumann
series ∑ₙ xⁿ * u⁻¹, of norm ‖u‖⁻¹.

In a seminormed ring, a unit is multiplicative precisely when its inverse has reciprocal norm.
If ‖u‖ = 0 every norm vanishes and both sides hold.

In an ultrametric norm-one ring with summable geometric series, a perturbation of one by an element of norm less than one is a multiplicative unit.
Neumann series criterion. In an ultrametric ring with summable geometric series,
an element whose distance from a multiplicative unit u is less than ‖u‖ is a multiplicative
unit.
The Neumann series of the inverse. If ‖f - u‖ < ‖u‖ for a multiplicative unit u, then
x = u⁻¹ * (u - f) has norm less than one and f⁻¹ = ∑ₙ xⁿ * u⁻¹.
If ‖f - u‖ < ‖u‖ for a multiplicative unit u, then the inverse of f has norm
‖u‖⁻¹.
