Orders in number fields #

An order in a number field K is a subalgebra over โ„ค that is finite as a โ„ค-module and spans K over โ„š. The spanning condition ensures that K is the fraction field of the order; this file installs that instance, so fractional ideals and Picard groups can be formed directly over an order.

Every order consists of algebraic integers, because module-finiteness implies integrality. Thus it embeds canonically in the maximal order ๐“ž K; in particular it is never the whole field. The maximal order itself is packaged as maximalNumberFieldOrder K.

An order in a number field K: a subring containing โ„ค, finite as a โ„ค-module, whose โ„š-span is all of K.

Instances For

    A domain finite over โ„ค is an order in its fraction field when that field is a number field.

    Instances For

      Membership in this order means being the image of an element of the original domain.

      A finite integer algebra is isomorphic to its image order in its fraction field.

      Instances For

        The order isomorphism sends each element to its image in the fraction field.

        Two orders in the same number field are equal when their underlying subalgebras are equal.

        Every element of an order is integral over โ„ค.

        Every order in a number field is contained in its ring of integers.

        An order O, viewed as a โ„ค-subalgebra of the maximal order ๐“ž K.

          An algebraic integer lies in the copy of O inside ๐“ž K exactly when it lies in O.

          The copy O.toRingOfIntegers of an order inside ๐“ž K is isomorphic to the order itself. This moves ideals of the order between the two models: comparisons with ideals of ๐“ž K use the former, fractional ideals and Picard groups the latter.

            The isomorphism toRingOfIntegersEquiv does not change the underlying element of K.

            @[simp]

            The inverse of toRingOfIntegersEquiv does not change the underlying element of K.

            @[simp]

            One order is contained in another exactly when their copies inside the maximal order are.

            An order is determined by its copy inside the maximal order.

            An order is a proper subring of its number field.

            The ambient number field is the fraction field of each of its orders.

            Ideals of an order and of the maximal order #

            An element of K lies in the fractional ideal of O attached to an ideal I of O.toRingOfIntegers exactly when it is an element of I.

            Over โ„ค, the product of an ideal I of the order with ๐“ž K is the extension of I to ๐“ž K.

            The maximal order of a number field, namely its ring of integers.
