Squares and even elements

This file defines square and even elements in a monoid.

Main declarations

• IsSquare a means that there is some r such that a = r * r
• Even a means that there is some r such that a = r + r

Note

• Many lemmas about Even / IsSquare, including important simp lemmas, are in Mathlib/Algebra/Ring/Parity.lean.

TODO

• Try to generalize IsSquare/Even lemmas further. For example, there are still a few lemmas in Algebra.Ring.Parity whose Semiring assumptions I (DT) am not convinced are necessary.
• The "old" definition of Even a asked for the existence of an element c such that a = 2 * c. For this reason, several fixes introduce an extra two_mul or ← two_mul. It might be the case that by making a careful choice of simp lemma, this can be avoided.

See also

Mathlib/Algebra/Ring/Parity.lean for the definition of odd elements as well as facts about Even / IsSquare in rings.

def IsSquare {α : Type u_2} [Mul α] (a : α) : Prop

An element a of a type α with multiplication satisfies IsSquare a if a = r * r, for some root r : α.

Equations

• IsSquare a = ∃ (r : α), a = r * r

def Even {α : Type u_2} [Add α] (a : α) : Prop

An element a of a type α with addition satisfies Even a if a = r + r, for some r : α.

Equations

• Even a = ∃ (r : α), a = r + r
