View on Github →feat(analysis/normed/field/basic): define densely_normed_field
give instances for ℚ, ℝ, ℂ and is_R_or_C
(#15657)
This adds a new type class extending normed_field
which is named densely_normed_field
per this Zulip discussion. The name comes from the fact that the (nn)norm has dense range in ℝ≥0. This type class is strictly stronger than nontrivially_normed_field
, with padic
being a field which is nontrivially normed but not densely normed.
The instances of nontrivially_normed_field
for each of ℚ, ℝ, ℂ have all been migrated to densely_normed_field
instead. Moreover, is_R_or_C
now extends densely_normed_field
; this is natural because even if it only extends nontrivially_normed_field
, it would still be possible to prove that the norm has dense range in ℝ≥0.
