Intermediate carriers of integral lattices #

Let L be an integral lattice. An intermediate carrier is a ℤ-submodule M of the ambient rational vector space satisfying

L ≤ M ≤ Lᵛ.

This file proves the underlying correspondence in the theory of overlattices: intermediate carriers are order-isomorphic to additive subgroups of the discriminant group A_L = Lᵛ / L. The forward map sends M to its image M / L in A_L, and the inverse sends a subgroup H ≤ A_L to its literal inverse image in Lᵛ, written L_H below. The characteristic membership lemmas state both constructions on representatives. The interval of intermediate carriers is a bounded order, with ⊥ the carrier of L and ⊤ its dual carrier. Every intermediate carrier is also proved to be a full ℤ-lattice in the common rational ambient space when L is nondegenerate. The correspondence and its membership, inverse, and order lemmas do not require nondegeneracy; only this fullness result does, and even it is unconditional for ⊥, which is the carrier of L itself.

Integrality and evenness of an intermediate carrier are deliberately not assumed here; the restrictions of the correspondence they cut out live in TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.IntegralLattice.Overlattice.Isotropic.

    The endpoints of the intermediate-carrier interval are ordered, so L.IntermediateCarrier is a bounded order with ⊥ the carrier of L and ⊤ its dual carrier.

    The intermediate-carrier correspondence. Intermediate carriers L ≤ M ≤ Lᵛ are order-isomorphic to additive subgroups of the discriminant group A_L = Lᵛ / L.

    The construction is the composite of Mathlib's correspondence theorem for quotient modules and its order isomorphism between submodules of a subtype and ambient submodules below that subtype: Submodule.comapMkQRelIso, Submodule.mapIic, and AddSubgroup.toIntSubmodule.

        A dual-carrier representative belongs to M / L exactly when its underlying ambient vector belongs to M.

          @[simp]

          A dual-carrier representative belongs to L_H exactly when its class belongs to H.

          The carrier attached to H ≤ A_L is its literal inverse image in the dual carrier: an ambient vector lies in L_H exactly when it lies in Lᵛ and its class belongs to H.

          The inverse image of the bottom discriminant subgroup is the bottom intermediate carrier.

          The inverse image of the top discriminant subgroup is the top intermediate carrier.

          The inverse image of the bottom discriminant subgroup is the original carrier.

          The inverse image of the top discriminant subgroup is the dual carrier.

          The discriminant subgroup of the bottom intermediate carrier, the carrier of L itself, is bottom.

          The discriminant subgroup of the top intermediate carrier, the dual carrier, is top.

          Containment of intermediate carriers is detected by containment of their discriminant subgroups.

          Containment of subgroups of the discriminant group is detected by containment of their inverse-image carriers.

          The bottom intermediate carrier is the carrier of L itself, hence a full ℤ-lattice in the ambient rational space. No nondegeneracy is required.

          Every intermediate carrier of a nondegenerate integral lattice is a full ℤ-lattice in the same rational ambient space.
