TauCeti.RingTheory.RootsOfUnity.Action

The roots of unity are preserved by an action by monoid endomorphisms #

A monoid G acting on Mˣ by monoid endomorphisms preserves ζ ^ n = 1, so the subgroup rootsOfUnity n M is G-stable and inherits the action. This file records that stability and installs the inherited MulDistribMulAction.

The intended instance is the absolute Galois group acting on μₙ ⊆ (Kˢ)ˣ, where the action is in general nontrivial and is exactly what the Kummer isomorphism depends on; the statement needs nothing about fields, so it is proved for an arbitrary action by monoid endomorphisms.
