View on Github →feat(ring_theory/ideal): generalize to noncommutative rings (#7654)
This is a minimalist generalization of existing material on ideals to the setting of noncommutative rings.
I have not attempted to decide how things should be named in the long run. For now ideal
specifically means a left-ideal (i.e. I didn't change the definition). We can either in future add two_sided_ideal
(or biideal
or ideal₂
or ...), or potentially rename ideal
to left_ideal
or lideal
, etc. Future bikeshedding opportunities!
In this PR I've just left definitions alone, and relaxed comm_ring
hypotheses to ring
as far as I could see possible. No new theorems or mathematics, just rearranging to get things in the right order.
(As a side note, both ring_theory.ideal.basic
and ring_theory.ideal.operations
should be split into smaller files; I can try this after this PR.)
