The zero extension of an inverse unit character #

MulChar.ofUnitHom extends a unit homomorphism χ : Rˣ →* R'ˣ by zero to a multiplicative character. It carries the inverse of χ to the inverse character, and for complex values, where the inverse of a character of finite order is its complex conjugate (MulChar.star_eq_inv), to the conjugate character.

The zero extension of the inverse of a unit homomorphism is the inverse character.

For a complex-valued unit homomorphism χ on a ring with finitely many units, the zero extension of χ⁻¹ is the complex conjugate of the zero extension of χ.
