Isometric endomorphisms of a bilinear form #
This file defines the predicate that an endomorphism preserves a bilinear form and provides its
elementary API, including the bridge to Mathlib's bundled isometric maps. The isometry group and
the determinant, base-change, and orthogonal-complement API are developed in
TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.BilinearForm.Isometry.
An endomorphism f of M is an isometry of the bilinear form B when it preserves B,
that is, when B (f x) (f y) = B x y for all x and y.
Isometric endomorphisms form a monoid, not a group: for the zero form on ℤ ^ 2 every endomorphism
is one. For a finite free ℤ-module V and a left-separating integral form Q an isometric
endomorphism is automatically invertible (TauCeti.BilinForm.IsIsometry.toIsometryGroup), and the
resulting automorphisms are the arithmetic group Aut(V, Q); see
TauCeti.BilinForm.isometryGroup.

Instances For
An endomorphism is an isometry of B exactly when it preserves B pointwise.
An endomorphism is an isometry of B exactly when precomposing B with it on both sides
returns B.
The underlying map of one of Mathlib's isometric maps B →bᵢ B is an isometry.
An isometry takes the same value under B after applying the endomorphism to both inputs.
An isometry, bundled as one of Mathlib's isometric maps B →bᵢ B.
